Artist Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n My artwork has a unique look that is constantly revolving. Some have described it as having a three-dimensional \/ high definition effect due to the incredible attention to detail. Texture plays a major role in the overall appeal of each piece. Leather and suede have been my fabric of choice, as their texture translates well in my pieces. My only apparatus is the xacto knife. It allows me to make precise cuts and gain control over rugged fabrics such as denim.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n As you view my work, you will get some sense of perspective through my eyes. I break down my subjects in different planes before considering color or texture. The dominance of warm colors reflects the overall mood of my pieces. My goal is to give off a vibe of tranquility.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don \u201cDonCee\u201d Coulter began his artistic career as an editorial illustrator, cartoonist, and painter. He was heavily inspired by hip-hop culture, music, and fashion, along with a cubism class he took in college. His class assignment was to experiment with shapes and planes to create a finished art piece. With these influences and job experiences, Coulter developed his unique and recognizable fabric collage artwork, which he achieves with only an X-Acto knife. His piece, \u201cIndiscernible Faces,\u201d was awarded Dr. Melissa Crum\u2019s Juror\u2019s Choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elements for \u201cIndiscernible Faces\u201d were created in the United States, the Netherlands, and Germany. Coulter spent an extended period in Germany through the Greater Columbus Arts Council\u2019s (GCAC) Dresden\/Columbus Exchange program, and used fabrics from Germany, the United States, the Netherlands, and Ghana. He says, \u201cTexture plays a major role in the overall appeal of each piece. Leather and suede are my fabrics of choice.\u201d Viewers can see the influences of the countries through architectural references and flags within \u201cIndiscernible Faces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Article by Panagiota Kourniotis<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n DonCee Coulter is an American artist born in Columbus, Ohio.
