Work Colin Self
Colin Self
b.1941
English draughtsman, printmaker, sculptor and painter. He studied first at Norwich Art School. In 1961 he entered the Slade School of Fine Arts in London.
In his time at the Slade School, he met fellow artists David Hockney, and Peter Blake, who greatly admired Self's paintings.
His style was extremely influential when he and others such as Warhol, Lichtenstein and Segal, were at the forefront of the ‘Pop Art’ movement.
Colin visited the United States and Canada with David Hockney in 1962 and 1965, and was soon exhibiting widely on the international arts circuit.
By 1964 he was showing at the cutting edge Robert Fraser Gallery, and by 1968 Colin Self was producing technically groundbreaking prints with Editions Alecto.
Today he remains one of Britain's leading painters, with a distinctive style and strong opinions about the Norfolk environment he lives in.
