This iconic creation has garnered global recognition, capturing the essence of pop culture.
From April 9th to 16th, 2024, at SiamParagon, immerse yourself in the world of Philip Colbert, a young British artist born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1980. Colbert, with a Master’s degree in Philosophy from the University of St. Andrews, has gained international acclaim for his lobster-themed artwork and hyper-pop style.
His work explores the patterns of digital contemporary culture and its relationship with historical art contexts. Colbert’s innovative approach combines painting with pop art theory, earning him accolades worldwide. His Lobster Persona symbolizes artistic expression, bridging contemporary culture with art history.
Colbert’s exhibitions, featuring large-scale pop art paintings, debuted in 2017, solidifying the lobster as his signature motif. Through vibrant colors and playful characters, his artwork reflects the diverse narratives of contemporary pop culture while subtly critiquing modern societal norms.
“The Lobster” serves as a metaphor for today’s human condition, consumed by consumerism in the pursuit of happiness. Colbert’s exhibitions have traveled globally, from The Saatchi Gallery and The Tate Modern in London to galleries in Taipei and Caruso, spreading his artistic vision.
Beyond the art world, Colbert has collaborated with renowned global brands like Montblanc, Adidas, Bentley, and Samsung.
“I became an artist when I became the lobster. Lobster Land is my world of imagination, where the lobster lives freely,” says Colbert.
