Philip Colbert, often referred to as the “godson of Andy Warhol”, has an iconic alter ego – a lobster. His work (and his lobster alter-ego) features cartoon-like imagery, exploring the convergence of art, modern culture and consumerism.

Philip Colbert moved from Scotland to the streets of London to pursue his art – and quickly became one of the leading voices in contemporary art with his signature blend of pop culture and surrealism. His work is easily recognisable – simply look out for the iconic lobster alter ego!  

Colbert’s journey into the art world began through his studies in philosophy, which continue to inform the conceptual depth behind his bright, cartoon-like imagery.
