Jack Coulter, a Northern Irish artist, is one of the most popular and unusual artist emerging now. He is especially popular for the links of his art with music. He has a neurological condition called Synaesthesia where people mix up sensory perceptions. Like feeling sounds or tasting shapes. He sees colours whenever he hears sounds.

Coulter’s approach is vibrant, violent, and a burst of colours always so unexpected. He mixes pigments with whatever he

finds. Most of his works were done in his garage in Belfast. He doesn’t paint with brushes but pours paint on canvas and scrapes till he gets what he wants. Coulter has always been erudite and culturally obsessed. His mother instilled in him an interest for culture from an early age. His aunt Christine was an abstract

printmaker and another huge inspiration to the young artist.

His pieces sell for £10000 upwards. The Arts Council Collection of Northern Ireland bought his works when he was just 21, the youngest artist to have work in the collection. More recently, Dazed Beauty

commissioned him to depict brand scents from Chanel, Alexander McQueen and Bryedo.

There is something so naïve and authentic about Coulter’s art, that it feels like a fresh breath of air.
