Life and work
Coulter grew up surrounded by abstract art, from an early age he became influenced by post-war Abstract Expressionism and his aunt Christine, who was an abstract printmaker.[1]
Coulter has synesthesia. His first memories of his condition date back to childhood, where he recalls the sound of his own heartbeat resonating pulses of colour.[2]
At 21 years old, Coulter's painting titled '21' was purchased for the Arts Council Collection of Northern Ireland, making him the collection's youngest artist.
In June 2016, Coulter collaborated with music streaming service Deezer, where he produced a 'musical painting' for Glastonbury Festival.[3]
In April 2018, Coulter painted Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto live with The London Chamber Orchestra in front of a full audience at Cadogan Hall.[4]
One of Coulter's paintings titled 'Rosegold' was auctioned by The Art Of Elysium in Los Angeles through Paddle8.[5] He was the youngest artist included. The piece was purchased by Shanola Hampton.
In 2018 Coulter also collaborated with Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs and Byredo for Dazed Magazine. He was asked to transcribe each brand's scent on canvas.[6]
