King Nobuyoshi Godwin (b. 1991)

King Nobuyoshi Godwin (b. 1991) lives and works in Raleigh, North Carolina. Godwin  began painting at the age of 22. His paintings often depict elements of the natural  world—underwater creatures, birds, trees—juxtaposed with the synthetic vibrance of  neon colors. His works range in size from small, single-subject paintings to large  paintings that capture entire narratives. Regardless of their physical size, Godwin's work  is incredibly detailed. Godwin has autism and a form of synesthesia, a condition in  which the perception of one sensory experience triggers another. For Godwin,  numerical synesthesia means that numbers are connected to feelings and experiential  stories. 

Godwin creates his work in three stages, first laying down a bright base coat, and then  painting the subject, usually an animal or plant. When he paints, Godwin uses a  complex system of colors and numbers to express how he is feeling. Finally, Godwin  uses Japanese paint markers to fill his canvas until every inch is covered with numbers  and he has achieved a kaleidoscopic effect that is both beautiful and highly  meaningful. Godwin then names each work, producing wonderfully specific titles like,  "The tree is having a wonderful day because friends are together '99'" and "The  elephant is having an okay day because it feels a bit stiff '55.'"

Godwin has been named one of one of Raleigh Magazine's "New Influentials" and his  work has been featured in Raw Vision Magazine. He had a solo exhibition, The Artist Is  Having a Good Day, at SAGE Studio & Gallery in 2021 and in 2022 SAGE represented  him at his debut at the Outsider Art Fair in New York City. 

Anthony Coleman (b. 1969)

Anthony Coleman (b. 1969) was born and raised in Philadelphia. A self-taught artist,  he began drawing his unique portraits at a young age. Fueled by his desire to create,  Coleman drew on whatever scrap of paper he could find, cutting out each finished  figure and carrying it in his wallet wherever he went. Coleman's distinct style combines  the color and mood of cartoons from the '70s and '80s, with his keen eye for  portraiture. An extremely prolific artist, Coleman has drawn hundreds of portraits, each  expertly capturing the distinctive characteristics of his subjects through his own  personal style. 

Coleman has recently exhibited his art in group shows at BREACH, Miami, La LUZ de  JESUS GALLERY, L.A., SPACE 1026, Philadelphia, as well as four group shows and a  solo show, Call Me Tony, at SAGE Studio. In 2022, SAGE represented Coleman in his  debut at the Outsider Art Fair in New York City.
