Aaron S. Coleman (born 1985) is an American multidisciplinary artist who works in printmaking, sculpture, and installation.
[1] He recontextualizes found imagery and artifacts to create jarring juxtapositions in his exploration of the legacy of slavery, ongoing systems of white supremacy, and contemporary Black experience in the United States.
His early years as an artist were influenced by hip hop and street art, and he created graffiti and large-scale murals on bridges, trains, and billboards in both cities.
[4] His installations create new narratives from the combination of disparate objects, such as picket fences, textiles, gymnasium flooring, found signage, popular culture ephemera, and recontextualized racist memorabilia.
He was awarded a 2022 Art as Activism Grant by the Black Box Press Foundation and received a 2023 New Voices Fellowship from the Print Center New York.
