Description
Summary:
Artist and professor Kevin E. Cole was born on January 19, 1960, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. He received his B.S. degree in art education from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, then his M.A. degree in art education and painting from the University of Illinois, and his M.F.A degree in drawing from Northern Illinois University. Cole's work centered on the relationship between color and music, particularly jazz, blues, rap, and gospel while incorporating the patterns and textures from traditional African clothes. He was commissioned to create a fifteen-story mural by the Coca-Cola Company for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. The mural took two years to complete and was a little over 800 square feet. Cole taught art for more than two decades, was featured in Who's Who in Education and received the Award of Excellence for Public Art by the Atlanta Urban Design Commission.
