Manick Sorcar’s love with art and science started when he was very young, painting the many back drops
and doing lighting designs for his father’s world-touring, elaborate magic shows on stage. This eventually
led him to become an electrical engineer specializing in lighting design and an artist.
After coming to the USA, his interest in science and art flourished simultaneously. Today, by day, he is
the full-time CEO/President of Sorcar Engineering, which did the architectural lighting designs for
projects such as Denver International Airport concourses, Colorado Convention Center, sport centers in
Japan, etc. By night, he is an award-winning artist, cartoonist, animator and laserist.
Manick enjoys doing artwork in multi-media in various forms - ranging from traditional waterpaint and
acrylic paint, to tile-painting, tile-collage, news-art, spice-art, Styrofoam sculptures, digital art
etc. His artwork has been showcased in many places including the University of Washington, Seattle,
Sewell Ballroom at the Denver Center for Performing Arts, Jefferson County Library, Foothills Art Center
in Golden, Colorado, etc. In 1996, his news-art “Mother Teresa” and “Wellington Webb” were selected as
the “Art Show Pick” by The Denver Post, and in 2001 The Rocky Mountain News ran a two-page story with
color pictures of his home that was designed by him, along with his artworks in it. In the same year,
twenty-two patrons and the curator of the Asian Art Association of the Denver Art Museum visited Sorcar
residence to admire his art.
Manick is the animator and creator of several animation films, which won a host of top awards including
the Gold-Plaque at Chicago International Film Festival, and Gold Medal at the International Film Festival
of New York. Based on children’s fables from India, these animation films are regularly shown on PBS
stations. In his recent works, he uniquely married art with science to create a number of laser animations
and light sculptures that have been used on his stage shows. He is twice the winner of ILDA Artistic Award
from the International Laser Display Association. First, at Italy, in 2006 for his “Enlightenment of Buddha”
for best use of lasers in a live performance, and the second in March, 2008, for best laser photography
for his laser art “Reflection”. The trophy will be handed to Manick on September 10, 2008 at the 2008 ILDA
Annual Conference and Award Ceremony on board the Carnival Imagination, cruising the Eastern Caribbean
from September 8 to 13.
At the Arvada Art Studio Tour of 2008, the visitors will get a glimpse of his art of universal theme in
multi-media, including laser art.
