Part of James Coleman’s exquisite garden series, “The Silence of Light” is a window into an enchanted, storybook realm replete with deep, mystical shadows and magical sequins of light. From Hollywood, California, Coleman originally worked in the Walt Disney Studios’ mailroom, later becoming a background animation specialist for several decades. His images were integral to such classics as “Winnie the Pooh,” “The Little Mermaid” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Eventually, Coleman devoted himself to fine art full-time, creating luminous, Impressionistic works in which he attempts “to push the statement I am making to its ultimate, both in design and use of color.”
