Robin Coleman

Ollie from Graffik Gallery very kindly introduced me to Robin Coleman in 2013. By the way, Graffik is an interesting pioneering place and a good visit. They also run fascinating Street Art tours. Robin is one of the nicest people you could hope to meet. Modest, charming, kind hearted, generous spirited, and yet supremely talented. And it shows in his work, which is guaranteed to cheer you up. Life is just that bit brighter and more colourful after looking at a Coleman collage. Also, rather like a Hieronymus Bosch, you can look

and look, as there are little details everywhere. The workmanship is jewel like.

So if you fancy a little present to self - come to us for a Coleman.

We started out selling them for around £4000. - £6000. I put two of my personal works into the Aynhoe Park sale in January 2020 and they made £17,000 and £12,400. We can still get you works below this price point if you hurry. But it reassures me that the open secondary market has consistently backed my picks.

And at Lamberty we always have the uniquely special works. The pick of the crop.

Sold Aynhoe Park auction January 2021:

Coleman is not a formally trained artist, but instead started painting to relieve stress from a debilitating spinal injury. His inimitable style is the result of hours of work involving the painstaking layering of materials such as newsprint, stamps and vintage comic books in order to achieve the final result. His early experimental pieces involved images of Marilyn Monroe, The Krays and Jimi Hendrix. Coleman has exhibited alongside Bansky amongst others at galleries in the UK and abroad in California, Paris, Dubai and Cape Town.
