FRIDAY ART PICK: RICHARD COLMAN
l'etoile is digging Richard Colman's geometric fantasy. Part the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, part Egyptian mythology with a 70's esthetic - Colman's ink and watercolor works articulates the impertanence of mankind. After making the transition from graffiti artist to fine artist, Colman bounced around the country from DC to New York, finally landing in L.A., where he now resides and works.
