Artist Statement for Lucille Coleman
|
|
|
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: forms of dance such as latin dance and hip-hop dance, men with babies, children, family, chic erotica, conceptual themes pertaining to people in business and men and women in positive leadership roles.
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, Frans Hals, John Singer Sargeant, Caravaggio and other painters of his era, Wassily Kandinsky, Phillip Corey, and Charles Sovek to name a few.
