Overview
Born in Hampton, Virginia, Calvin Coleman spent his adolescent years in the quiet suburb town of Swarthmore, just outside of Philadelphia, PA. Calvin attended Lincoln University where he received his degree in Early Childhood Education. Infusing movement and color in many of his works, Calvin sets out to capture new feelings and emotions in his paintings. Over the last decade, Calvin has spent time perfecting his use of various mediums such as: watercolor, oil, charcoal, acrylic and his unique collage technique. More recently, he has further stretched the expressive possibilities of his collages by combining fabric and textured paper with acrylic and oil paints to create works of spectacular richness and texture. The messages that Coleman's works relay are global as he strongly believes that his spiritual beliefs are global and has the power to transcend cultural, ethnic and national barriers.
