Artist Spotlight: Brian Coleman

'WHEREVER IT TAKES ME'

Wherever It Takes Me consists of a soft mottled grey background contrasting with bursts of rich oranges, baby blues and petrol shades. Interspersed brushstrokes draw the eye across the canvas, whilst remnants of the previous marks made act as familiar motifs throughout Coleman’s work. 

'THE BLOOM & THE THORNS'

Inspired by a trip to Lake Wylie in South Carolina, The Bloom & The Thorns draws from the reflections found upon the surface of the lake water. Coleman uses lines and shapes from a map of the lake within the piece, whilst the blush tones emulate the blooming roses from the surrounding areas.

'WHERE I WANT TO BE PART 1'

Inspired by day drawing, Where I Want To Be combines ephemeral strokes with graphic marks to demonstrate a reflective playfulness throughout the piece. The neutral colour palette contrasts against striking gestural marks. Part of a dyptich design, Where I Want To Be can be bought together or as a stand-alone piece.

'WHERE I WANT TO BE PART 2'

Coleman uses a tonal shades to capture moments of the past, present and future, creating a mesh of memories that simultaneously fade and intertwine. The neutral colour palette contrasts against striking gestural marks. Part of a dyptich design, Where I Want To Be can be bought together or as a stand-alone piece.

'WOOD STRUCTURE'

Wood Structure explores the beauty of lines, balance and form from an architectural perspective. Originally created on wood, Coleman builds up this composition through an array of angular forms in luscious gold tones. The graphic construction of these shapes sit beautifully upon a dusty rose background.

'LIBRARY OF FORMS'

Stemming from his background in Graphic Design and Film Editing, Library Of Forms captures Coleman’s love for bold markmaking. The overlapping sketched forms provide an insight into the workings of Coleman’s artistic style, creating a rich and dynamic story that amalgamates ideas from several points in time.
