Rock Paper Scissors: Supporting - Tony Cragg at Houghton Hall, Norfolk

POP ARTIST / 'HUNTER'

Colin Self was born in Norfolk, studied at Norwich School of Art and attended the Royal College of Art (RCA) in the early sixties. Self arrived at the crucial moment Pop Art emerged in London. Identified as one of Pop’s exponents, Self exhibited at the influential Robert Fraser Gallery, along side Peter Blake, Richard Hamilton and Clive Barker. By the late sixties Colin Self was producing technically innovative prints along side drawings, paintings and maquettes, as he terms his 3D haiku. He has remained true to his Pop roots and sees potential in the everyday objects that surround us and calls himself a ‘hunter’, seeking out connections between objects he has selected out from the detritus of mass consumption. His work is fresh, immediate and frequently delivered with a punch line. He is based in Norwich.
