Philip Colbert brings Lobsterman to Moscow
Philip Colbert brings Lobsterman to Moscow
Lobster is on the menu in Moscow. But this lobster prefers life on land, rather than under the sea, even taking selfies. Dressed in a blue suit with a smattering of fried eggs, this is British artist Philip Colbert's alter-ego - "Lobsterman." From selfie-taking to an army invasion, this cartoon lobster is the star of the show at Moscow's Multimedia Art Museum.
Colbert who grew up in Scotland, explains he became an "artist" when he started painting the lobster around eight years ago. He had always liked art from an early age, around three and half years ago, he started painting himself as the lobster. "Lobster in a way was already a symbol within art.

There's no limit to creativity, but there is a limit to a latex object.
