Colin’s art consists of sculpture, drawings and installations that explore various themes around the fragile human condition. Kaleidoscopic Glass Pillows, Tiny Men On Tits, Prosthetic beings, and resin Bubble wrap sculptures are some of the creations that make up his work. Constant exploration of materials and techniques combine with uncanny imagery from a vast array of cultural sources from present and past. This creates a careful balance of humor, science, pop and horror, calculated to lead the viewer to question their personal thoughts on various subjects. Through this, the works have the ability to cross significant cultural, social and psychic boundaries.
Colin received his BFA from Otis School of Art and Design in 2001. He has had solo exhibitions at Steve Turner Gallery, Patricia Faure Gallery and Monte Vista Projects. Colin has also participated in exhibitions at The Skirball Center, Mark Moore Gallery, June Lee Contemporary, Gavin Brown's Passerby Gallery NY, Torrance Art Museum, The Depart Foundation, LAMAG, Wolf and Galentz Berlin and many others.
