Renowned pop artist Philip Colbert‘s collectible works remain on show until 26 January at Brighton‘s Helm Gallery, the exhibition entitled Prints and Editions showcasing never-before-seen exclusive prints of some of his most revered works alongside the last remaining sculptures from the Lobstars collectables series, alongside all-new sculptures, toys, books and merch.
A bone fide 21st century pop art star and We Heart favourite who has continued to take the art world by storm over the course of the last decade, the Scotland-born, London-residing artist dubbed ‘The Godson of Andy Warhol’ exhibited his works at Saatchi Gallery in 2017 and 2018 before launching Lobsteropolis, a digital virtual reality artistic universe, at the Serpentine Gallery in June 2021.
