Artist Statement -



Although I'm able to produce other imagery, the figure has been my main subject. I believe that if an artist can capture and express the figure well, he can master any subject. I have explored the following themes to name a few: chic erotica, forms of dance such as latin and hip-hop, the family, conceptual themes pertaining to people in business, men and women in positive leadership roles and societal issues.

I enjoy painting subjects and themes by using a loose, bold, direct and painterly brushstroke or flat graphite strokes over a solid drawing. Spontaneity and making visual statements by the "less is more" method is very gratifying for me. In addition, the chiaroscuro lighting of subjects fascinates me and I never tire of its effects of light and shadow.

I am influenced by the works of Joaquin Sorolla, John Singer Sargeant, Caravaggio and other painters of his era, Wassily Kandinsky, Phillip Corey, Impressionism, and many great illustrators.

Artist Publications





Home and Towne - "Friday January 7th, Art in the Lobby will be opening its new show featuring Philadelphia artist, Lucille Coleman, whose main theme is Salsa Dancers. Her oil paintings are so lifelike and joyous, they evoke music."
"....Latin, Hip Hop Dance Oil Paintings of Lucille Coleman. So vibrant you can hear the music and want to kick off your shoes!"
.....Pauline Jonas, curator

Philadelphia Inquirer - Art at the Armory Exhibit: ..."Any show that offers so much representational painting can make you wish the Pennsylvania Academy never existed, but it wouldn't be fair to ignore the genre.
Lucille Coleman, William J. Wendt and Philip Cohn all help to alleviate the feeling of surfeit"
......Edward J. Sozanski, Inquirer Art Critic
