Philip Colbert

Flowers (Round), Orange, 2024

These works celebrate the everlasting iconic power of the flower. Rendered here in inflatable form, Colbert creates a series of highly stylized flowers, exploring a universe of aesthetics within the subject, while simultaneously drawing on other art historical references such as Claes Oldenburg’s soft sculptures. Colbert's appropriation of Warhol's flowers speaks to his larger interest in merging canonical art with digital spheres – a fascination that persists throughout his practice.

"For me, flowers are the ultimate symbols of beauty that is fleeting. I love how they have a universal poetic quality. They represent the sculptural essence of life, capturing the transient nature of beauty and how it can defy everything forever in a single moment."

Printed on Somerset 330gsm enhanced satin paper with high gloss varnish and two embossing shapes. Limited edition of 50, signed and numbered by the artist.

    About the artist
    +

    Born in Scotland and living and working in London, Colbert is often referred to as the “godson of Andy Warhol”. Colbert has created a global following for his cartoon lobster persona and his masterful hyper pop history paintings. His work powerfully explores the patterns of contemporary digital culture and its relationship to a deeper art historical dialogue.

    Graduating with an MA in Philosophy from St. Andrews University, Colbert's work has received international acclaim in museums and galleries worldwide for his energetic new approach to painting and pop theory. Following on from early Pop painters such as Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist, Colbert's paintings cross high art themes from old master paintings and contemporary art theory with everyday symbols of mass contemporary culture, all narrated through the eyes of Colbert's cartoon Lobster alter ego.

    “I became an artist when I became a Lobster”.
