About the artist, Colin Self

Colin Self

Colin Self: A Cold War Visionary and Master of Print Colin Self (born 1941 in Rackheath, Norfolk) stands as a singular figure in British art – a Pop artist deeply engaged with the anxieties and complexities of the Cold War era. More than simply depicting political events, Self’s work operates on a profoundly psychological level, exploring themes of violence, sexuality, fear, and the unsettling relationship between humanity and technology. His distinctive style, characterized by meticulous draughtsmanship, surreal juxtapositions, and an innovative approach to printmaking, has earned him recognition as “the best draughtsman in England since William Blake,” according to Richard Hamilton. His career, spanning decades, reveals a constant evolution of technique and subject matter, reflecting both his personal experiences and the shifting cultural landscape of Britain and beyond.
