Colin Christian

Colin Christian is an amazing sculptor, His pop style surrealist art is larger than life its self. Born in england, london in the 1964.
He spent most of his childhood living and going to school in london. around 15 he moved to morocco to live for a year.
many years past and he got married to an amazing painter called sas. him and his wife move to the U.S where they started small business making latex clothing for fetish stores. Colin now works full time on his original sculptures, finding inspiration in old sci-fi movies, pinup girl/supermodels, anime, ambient electronic music and H.P. Lovecraft. In 2004 he started using silicone in his sculptures, a difficult material to use but one that helps him achieve his goal of true cartoon realism, a line drawing made flesh. He is not looking to create every imperfection and flaw, but to take the exaggerations and perfections of cartoons and make them into a realistic 3D form.
