Aaron S. Coleman

Assistant Professor, Art

Art Bldg, Room 303A
520-686-5814

MFA, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb IL
BFA, Herron School of Art and Design

Born January 29th, 1985 in Washington D.C.

Aaron is an Assistant Professor of Art at the University of Arizona. He received his MFA from Northern Illinois University in 2013 and has taught all levels and media in printmaking at California State University Fresno and Northern Illinois University. Aaron also taught traditional stone lithography at the Chicago Printmakers Collaborative. 

Aaron is a mixed media artist and printmaker creating works focused on political and social issues. He combines imagery from comic books and stained glass windows to raise questions concerning misconstrued belief systems and twisted moral values in our society. Aaron’s background in hip-hop culture and street art remains as a major influence in his fine art practices.

Aaron has exhibited internationally and received numerous awards, scholarships and fellowships for his work in lithography and mezzotint. Aaron’s work can be found in the collections of The University of Colorado, Wichita State University, the Ino-cho Paper Museum in Kochi, Japan, The Yekaterinburg Museum of Art in Yekaterinburg, Russia, and the University of Tennessee Knoxville’s Ewing Gallery Collection and among many other public and private collections.

            Aaron is a husband, a dog lover and a workaholic.

Great oil painting by Galadriel Gross who is currently studying studio art and is working on her portfolio for an illustration emphasis!
•
"Self Portrait After Rain"
This was my first self portrait, and it was a real joy to paint. Knowing there is a version of myself in this painting that is always at rest, always breathing fresh air after a rain, and always in close proximity to the mud is self-affirming and grants strength to my active, living self. While I really love visual drama and tension, these quieter and calmer pieces always resonate with me for a long time.

This amazing sculpture is titled “Temporary Structures” by Marisa Lewon and is currently in the Alumni Exhibition in the Joseph Gross Gallery— link in bio!!
•
Temporary structures is an amalgamation of sand, skin, self-understanding and time. I use personal history to understand how the experience of where and how we are raised can alter reactions and perceptions of new landscapes as adults. In this work, my perception of, and aversion to, ideas of home are echoed through exploration of personal memory.
