Ptolemy Mann (b. 1972) is an artist based in East Sussex, England, who creates paintings and hand-dyed and woven artworks underpinned by intelligent color theory. She describes her large-scale, emotive work as flirting with the dynamics of restriction, control and spontaneity. Mann studied at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College, where she explored the possibilities of her chosen materials. Mann lectures regularly, writes for the magazine Selvedge, curates and has received three grants from the Arts Council of England. She is represented by Taste Contemporary in Geneva, Gallery Lau in Munich and Findlay Galleries in the USA.
