After conquering the Venice Biennale, Philip Colbert's lobsters land in Paris. The pop-art artist is installing his giant sculptures at Station F, the Parisian start-up campus in the 13th arrondissement. For the duration of a summer exhibition, Philip Colbert invites us to discover his colorful and amusing universe, made up of curious, adventurous and artistic lobsters.
Philip Colbert isexhibiting eight lobster sculptures and an inflatable structure on the roof of Station F from July 9 to August 2, 2024. The artist uses the codes of pop art and surrealism to question our globalized consumer society and our detachment from nature.
Through his works, the creator revisits thehistory of art in his own way. The autobiographical character of the lobster allows the artist to express his vision of the world and of art. As critical as he is admiring, Philip Colbert links past and present with these unexpected and zany sculptures.
In turn, these lobsters wear costumes in reference to Vincent Van Gogh, Murakami, Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Duchamp...
This exhibition becomes a game for art lovers: can you find the hidden reference to a movement or a great artist? However, you don't need to be an expert to appreciate Philip Colbert's lobsters: these original, colorful sculptures are fascinating just as they are.
