His work powerfully explores the patterns of contemporary digital culture and its relationship to a deeper art historical dialogue. His obsession with the lobster is rooted in its historical symbolism within art, language, and time.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]In HOUSE OF THE LOBSTER, Colbert pays homage to the roots of lobster mythology through a captivating body of work inspired by the museum\u2019s mosaic collection. The exhibition not only charts the lobster\u2019s significance through art history, but also contemplates the broader themes of mortality, conflict, and the cyclical nature of existence.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of the exhibition[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]At the heart of the exhibition is a marine mosaic, found in Pompeii, featuring a central battle between a lobster, moray eel and octopus. For Colbert, the profound significance of this ensnared conflict led the artist to produce the underwater battle scenes in the Pompeii Series (2023 \u2013 present) on display here. Colbert explores the timeless struggle symbolised in the mosaic by the lobster, the eel and the octopus, weaving a narrative of perpetual conflict.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>26 gennaio &#8211; 1 aprile 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37698,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_just_events_all_day":false,"_just_events_start_date":"2024-01-26 00:00:00","_just_events_end_date":"2024-04-01 23:59:00","_just_events_link":""},"event_category":[74],"class_list":["post-4905","just_event","type-just_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_category-exhibitions","entry","has-media"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
