AUTHOR
Award winning Chicago photographer, Gail Mancuso, captures the unique pulse, silhouettes and forms reflected in urban landscapes, the female form and pop culture. Through her lens, Gail renders these quotidian subjects into strikingly elaborate compositions that subtly blur the boundary between photography and painterly impressions.
A model-turned-photographer, Gail is recognized for her award-winning photography, which is receiving global attention. In 2015, she received La Prix de la Photographie award in Paris, as well as several international photography awards in France, Russia and Japan. She has also had numerous solo and group exhibitions in the US and worldwide, from Moscow to Japan to Italy.
A 25-foot installation of her renowned “Chicago Synchronicity” piece resides at the prestigious Seven Lions restaurant across from the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as in Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office in City Hall.
Beyond creating large-scale art for public and corporate installations, her limited-edition works are held in private collections throughout the US, UK and Italy. As an emerging international photographer, Gail has been featured in media including World Art Dubai, Michigan Avenue and Chicago Woman Magazines, Voyage Chicago, Splash and on television with NBC Universal’s Chicago Justice.
2016 – Silver Award, Second Place
