Description
Phillip Colbert is British artist, born in Scotland and living and working in London.
Known for his cartoon lobster persona, his work combines contemporary art-theory with themes from old master paintings and channels it through iconic symbols of everyday culture . His work is not limited to paintings, large-scale projects, sculptural works and NFTs make up a vast amount of his artistic oeuvre, notable examples include his giant inflatable lobster that he provided for the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022, his creation of ‘Lobsteropolis’ – a digital, virtual-reality artistic universe, and his vast array of tactile, vibrant, smaller-scale sculptures of lobster figures.
His work is intensely surreal and visually arresting, giving him an unparalleled uniqueness that has seen him exhibit work internationally and be purchased by some of the worlds leading collectors. His practice forces you to expect the unexpected and provides the most revitalising take on pop-art in recent memory.
