"Growing up in the South to a blended Black and Swiss family, much of my identity was constructed through a process of self-invention to which my art was central,"

Nicolas Lambelet Coleman (b. 1998, Durham, North Carolina) is a Swiss-American painter. His work broadly encompasses portraiture, still life, and interior scenes, with an emphasis on self-portraiture drawn from everyday routines and pivotal moments.

Nicolas says. He graduated from Duke University in 2020 with a BA in Visual Arts and Political Science, and his work has been featured in Elephant, It's Nice That, and Artnet, and shown at Thierry Goldberg Gallery, Steve Turner Gallery, and 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair.
