Documentary

A riveting examination of an artist who refuses to paint–or play–on the mainstream canvas... squirm-inducing.

R.I.P Rest in Pieces is an intimate portrait of artist Joe Coleman, who is known around the world as a shamanic, moral voice diagnosing the ills of 21st century America. Coleman holds nothing back, telling us of a world wracked with tumorous cities, perversion, divorce, violence, atomic bombs, and a human race destroying itself simply because we are born.
