"Veiled" by Sharon Coleman. The bold, sweeping brushstrokes create sheer swirls of oranges, pinks and white that cover a woman's face, hiding her expressions. The interplay between warm hues and striking accents creates complex artwork that invites the viewers imagination to contemplate the woman beneath the veil.
Why is she veiled? What do you see when you look past the explosive use of color? A seductive woman, one that invites the viewer to raise the veil? She is timid, yet bold, romantic and intriguing. just like the piece as a whole. The expert use of color is a testament to Sharon's abilities to bring emotions to life.
Meet Sharon Coleman. I was lucky enough to have a picture of her holding "Veiled." Sharon paints with vibrant colors, exploring the emotive qualities, the hues and contrasts, that make her style very recognizable.
