The Gallery's Perspective
There is a quiet pride in the sitter’s profile that immediately holds the room. The young figure faces right in a dignified, almost ceremonial posture—cheek and jaw outlined by warm, golden light while the rest of the portrait recedes into a dusky, intimate background. Notice the tactile detail of the feathered hairpiece and the soft fur at the shoulder; these elements give the image a lived, tactile presence and suggest tradition and care. A subtle red mark on the cheek and the calm set of the lips add a personal, human note without telling a complete story, so the work feels respectful rather than declarative. The overall palette—earthy browns, muted ochres and gentle highlights—creates a sense of stillness and reverence. This is a piece that comforts with its quiet strength and invites a contemplative pause rather than instant explanation.

"I like to tell stories in my work using metaphors that help explain who we are and from where we came. Creating an object means little to me unless I can portray an underlying emotion or analogy. Each piece tells a story in the three dimensional, a visual mythology written by my hands and spiritual imagination, somehow linking us to the past and bringing us to a greater understanding of our ancestors."
John Coleman (b. 1949) was born in Southern California and began his early art studies at the Art Center for Design in Los Angeles. Sculpting full time since 1994, John was voted into professional membership of The National Sculpture Society of New York in 1999.
John was brought into the Cowboy Artist of America in October 2001, and is a fellow member of the National Sculpture Society. He usually has six or seven works-in-progress at any one time, and will introduce four to five new editions each year.
