Colin Self

Colin Self is a British painter, draughtswoman, printmaker, and sculptor whose artistic journey began at the Slade School of Fine Art, deeply influenced by Cold War politics and Pop Art. Her technique combines precise draughtsmanship, multi-plate etching, and collage, often juxtaposing commercial imagery with haunting visions and surrealist elements. Her style is highly personal, blending atmospheric landscapes, inventive printmaking, and a sharp, sometimes humorous eye for contemporary life. Self's works evoke emotions ranging from existential anxiety and social critique to playful curiosity and poignant nostalgia.
