Joe Coleman

My interest in Coleman came about when Charles Salvador advised me to look at his work because he was bordering on genius. Upon looking, I can see similarities with mine.

Coleman is classed as an 'outsider' artist, which is also what I consider myself to be. Below is a painting of one of Coleman's works.
