Floyd Coleman, best known for his art historical scholarship and criticism, is also a mixed media artist whose work highlights the vibrancy and complexity of Washington, D.C. His approach to canvas and paper echoes his diverse interests in politics and race relations, and also reflects the influence of the musical scores of John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, and Ornette Coleman. Jazz became the muse that inspired Floyd Coleman’s work and as an abstractionist, he used strong hues such as blue, green, yellow, and red in his work to parallel the improvisation of jazz music. His rapid lines and shapes represent the impulsive nature of the tones and notes in jazz music as he endeavors to “feel the rhythm” and capture the diversity of Washington, D.C.
