Manso, a master of collage, often integrated collage elements into the paint itself, a technique Macchi has adopted, embedding scraps of paper and even dried paint chunks into her canvases. Her work is process-driven, emphasizing the physical act of painting and the interaction with the medium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShe often uses torn paper (never cutting it) and other two-dimensional materials, which become integral to the composition, influencing how she paints around them. Her approach is described as “disrupting the paint,” with energetic, almost action-painting gestures using palette knives, fingers, and Sharpie markers. Many works evoke landscapes with a horizon line, despite their dense, abstract surfaces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"November Gallery Members Exhibition Cornucopia 2026","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67752708833582,"sku":null,"price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/8101\/files\/Macchi_Lisa_BunchesofAbundance_Acrylic_475.jpg?v=1792240356","url":"https:\/\/www.crossroadsartcenter.com\/products\/macchi-lisa-title-bunches-of-abundance","provider":"Crossroads Art Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
