Ed. Varie presents Cavier Coleman’s solo exhibition, Heaven & Hell.

Excerpt from Champagne Wishes and Cavier Dreams,
“[Cavier] was born the same year that Basquiat died, to a mother who would rapp his hands every time he colored outside of the lines and to a father who worked in construction, but had unrequited dreams of becoming a sculptor. His mother named him Cavier and his sister Champagne, giving her children a kind of luxury that they could hold onto, since their young lives would be devoid of frivolous extravagances.

Cavier was raised by his Grandmother because his mother, a teacher who often painted murals of Looney Tunes characters in their neighborhood, developed a drinking habit when her brother was murdered. In a way, his mother’s decline into despair gave Cavier the freedom to express himself creatively, outside of the boundaries she had always set for him.

As a result, his work has become a cacophony of colors and shapes and streams of conscious unconsciousness. Layers upon layers of faces, seemingly morphing in and out of each other. Bodies that are held in impossible positions, ensconced in amniotic sacs filled with capitalistic ideals and status symbols.”
Cavier Coleman, B. 1988, currently lives and works in New York.

Cavier was catapulted into the art scene at the young age of 22. He has exhibited in a variety of group shows, and his art has been in the public eye in establishments such as the Soho House, The Hotel Rivington and Saks Fifth Avenue. A prolific artist, creating in a broad spectrum of mediums, including painting, music, photography, and graphic design, Cavier emboldens the the meaning of a multi-media artist. Both, his photographs and paintings are constructed with high contrast, bold lines, and vibrant color schemes. His voice exhibits the influence of Pablo Picasso and Jean Michael Basquiat, but his paintings are easily identified by a distinct style that remains unmistakably, Cavier.
