ARTIST BACKGROUND

Kamron Coleman (B 1972) began his professional art career in his early twenties as a permanent gallery artist in Chelan, Washington where both sides of his family have roots. He spent 19 years as a self-employed stonemason, sculptor, and fabricator and finisher in many mediums for the construction industry. He secured Utility and Design patents for innovations in construction and wood-fired pizza ovens of his own manufacture. Kamron went on to stand up the sand-casting discipline at the world-renowned Walla Walla Foundry, where he pioneered radical metal casting techniques for elements of some of the most expensive contemporary art in the world.

Since meeting his wife, harpist Bethany Evans, Kamron moved to the Willamette Valley, Oregon, where he has collaborated directly with symphony executives to create symphony-specific fine art for fundraising for symphonies across the United States. His painting, “Derby Day”, is in the running for Churchill Downs’ Art of the Derby.

His style is recognized for manipulating the viewer’s focus, an effect he calls “focal ambiguity”. In this age of high-definition imaging, Kamron’s work plays on themes of the more natural experience of seeing the world both in and out of focus.

APOTHEOSIS SCROLL

As of 2024, Kamron is eight years and 7,000 hours into the creation of the Apotheosis: Scroll. It is estimated for completion around 2028.

This monumental work contains hundreds of digitalized original artworks including oil paintings, hand-drawn diagrams, and charts, and a book-length essay. Reproductions are available for sale, and the Scroll will go on tour to libraries, universities, and galleries to be accompanied by original artworks contained in the Scroll.

Kamron welcomes organizational and private commissions and works by private sales. Book the Apotheosis Scroll exhibit in your city by contacting the artist.
