Johnny Coleman Interview, 29 October 2008
No full textArtist Johnny Coleman discusses his personal background and career as an artist. Coleman was born in Saugus, Massachusetts, and grew up in Redlands, California. Early in life, Coleman struggled as an artist, drifting in the streets as a method of learning the arts, but eventually took a full-time job at a drugstore. After several years at the drugstore, Coleman\u27s friends and especially his brother encouraged him to pursue his artistic abilities. Coleman took formal art classes at Santa Barbara Community College and later enrolled at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. Artists such as Charlie White inspired Coleman\u27s artwork and Ulysses Jenkins became Coleman\u27s immediate mentor. Coleman\u27s works include a response to Langston Hughes\u27s Dream Deferred, in which Coleman created a chalkboard just of reach of the individual, and artwork which individuals physically inhabit the space. Throughout Coleman\u27s life, music remained an anchor of inspiration. Coleman tries to work through local environments and sounds that emerge within spaces. Coleman taught Black visual art at Oberlin College after the insistence of his students. Coleman believes his experience at Oberlin helps him better articulate his own work
