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”.
- Philip Colbert
