Mančkova samosvoja risarska motivika, podpisana z bistroumnim humorjem in pretanjeno satiro, nedvomno vključuje bogato ljudsko ustvarjalnost, izraženo v tradiciji slovenske ilustracije vesnanov v začetku 20. stoletja, ki jo predstavlja umetniški opus Maksima Gasparija, Hinka Smrekarja, Gvida Birolle in drugih predstavnikov. Na razstavi smo posebej predstavili izvirne stripovske like - Hribce. Mančkov minimalistični pristop, brez obremenjevanja z zgodovinskimi dejstvi, je v Hribcih ustvaril njegove najprepoznavnejše junake, ki s svojo oziroma avtorjevo sporočilnostjo in pretanjenim humorjem navdušujejo tako otroke kot odrasle. Avtorjeva iskrivost, igrivost in otroška radoživost tako ohranjajo slikovito in pronicljivo likovno pripoved, tako rekoč brezčasno in vedno aktualno, ter jo hkrati izzivalno spreminjajo v čisto, jasno, tenkočutno, včasih minimalistično risbo. Marjan Manček is creating illustrations for youth periodicals and book illustrations, comics, copyright picture books, visual designs for puppet shows and animated films; he has illustrated more than 200 books, more than 30 copyright picture books, 12 animated films and presented his artistic creations in 40 solo exhibitions at home and some collective exhibitions abroad. Manček's original drawing motifs, signed with witty humour and subtle satire, undoubtedly include rich folk creativity, expressed in the tradition of Slovene illustration of members of the Vesna Art Club (“vesnani”, named after the Slavic goddess of spring, Vesna) in the early 20th century, represented by the artistic work of Maksim Gaspari, Hinko Smrekar, Guido Birolla and others. We especially presented the Hillies – original comic characters at the exhibition. Manček's minimalist approach, unburdened by historical facts, created his most recognisable heroes in Hribci, who impress both children and adults with their or the author's message and subtle humour. The author's wit, playfulness and child-like cheerfulness thus preserve the picturesque and insightful visual narrative practically timeless and always current, and at the same time defiantly transform it into a clean, clear, delicate, sometimes minimalistic drawing.
