James Coleman was born
in Hollywood in 1949. Fortunate enough to land a job in the mail room at
Walt Disney Studios after high school, the young artist’s raw talent
was unexpectedly noticed by Disney’s top animators, launching a 22 year
career that would lead to his position as supervisor of the Animation
Background Department.
Coleman’s first big break at Disney came when he
entered a painting in the Disney Studio Art Show. A top artist for
Disney, Ken Anderson, saw Coleman’s potential and encouraged him to go
into animation background painting. His first job was as a background
painter on Disney’s “The Rescuers”.
This led to a career spanning over
25 films. With films such as Winnie the Pooh, Beauty and the Beast, and
The Little Mermaid to his credit, Coleman eventually became one of the
most sought after background artists in the industry. But Coleman's true
passion was always Fine Art, and in 1991, he left Disney in order to
pursue that passion full time. He describes this life changing decision
as a window that needed to be opened:
"Windows can be intimidating because
you don't know what's out there. But once you step through it, you're
faced with this enormous amount of possibility. I never liked looking at
windows directly, because once I see one, I have to go through it."
Today, James Coleman’s paintings have become some of the most valuable works of contemporary fine art in the world.
