HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 March 2025 – British artist Philip Colbert‘s newest work, THE LOBSTER PAINTER, and five signature lobster sculptures transform K11 MUSEA into a vibrant hyper-pop world. With the aim of bringing art to the community, the artworks are presented by K11 Art Foundation (KAF) and merge art, technology, and accessibility. The monumental artwork, THE LOBSTER PAINTER, is a collaboration between Colbert and Co-Museum, and is a striking 7.5-metre-high steel sculpture on public view from today till 13 May 2025.
To celebrate the launch of the public artwork, an exclusive kiosk pop-up has opened on the promenade at K11 MUSEA and Avenue of Stars offering limited-edition special Asset-Backed Collectible (ABC) versions of THE LOBSTER PAINTER. These 33-centimetre collectible figure, (Original Edition priced at HKD 3,888; Gold Edition priced at HKD 14,888) are a collaboration between Philip Colbert and Co-Museum, enabling collectors to become co-collectors of the monumental sculpture through blockchain technology.
Each collectable will represent a shared connection to the monumental sculpture itself, while, through blockchain-powered ABCs, collectors will become co-collectors of THE LOBSTER PAINTER. As a special highlight, co-collectors will also have the unique opportunity to have their names on a sign at the base of the collectable. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the collectable will be used to continue supporting the development of contemporary art through KAF’s art and culture programmes.
For those unable to attend in person, the limited-edition ABCs will also be available for purchase online at K11 Experience, co-museum.shop and www.philipcolbert.com.
Five of Colbert’s signature lobster sculptures will also be on display inside K11 MUSEA until 13 April.

About Philip Colbert
“I became an artist when I became a Lobster,” – Philip Colbert.
Born in Scotland and living and working in London, Colbert is often referred to as the “godson of Andy Warhol”. He has created a global following for his cartoon lobster persona and his masterful hyper-pop history paintings. His work powerfully explores the patterns of contemporary digital culture and its relationship to a deeper art historical dialogue. After graduating with an MA in Philosophy from St. Andrews University, Colbert’s work has received international acclaim in museums and galleries worldwide for his energetic new approach to painting and pop theory. Following on from early Pop painters such as Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein and James Rosenquist, Colbert’s paintings cross high art themes from old master paintings and contemporary art theory with everyday symbols of mass contemporary culture, all narrated through the eyes of Colbert’s cartoon Lobster alter ego. He has been championed as a contemporary pop master by art world figures such as Charles Saatchi & Simon de Pury.

Successful debut of International Symposium on Emergency Response and Aeromedical Services in Hong Kong
With participants from places including Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland, Australia, the United Kingdom, Austria, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, the event aimed to foster closer co-operation in emergency linkage, resource sharing, and professional training among different regions.
The symposium featured a series of plenary sessions, panel discussions, technical visits, and live demonstrations jointly conducted by the GFS and various government emergency units. A number of memoranda of understanding were signed during the event, to deepen collaboration between the GFS and the Chinese Mainland as well as domestic and international emergency, aviation, and medical institutions.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Under Secretary for Security, Michael Cheuk, said that the challenges of emergency response as a result of the realities of climate change are evolving at an unprecedented pace.
“A shift to proactive prevention, continuous enhancement of international and cross-regional collaboration, and enhanced experience and insight sharing among stakeholders are key to rising to new and complex challenges,” Mr Cheuk said, adding that the collaborative spirit of ISERAS will forge stronger partnerships, further strengthen emergency response capabilities, and secure a safer future for communities.
The Director General of the Rescue and Salvage Bureau of the Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China (CRS), Wang Lei, also attended the symposium and delivered a keynote presentation on air rescue capabilities and strategic development in the South China Sea.
The symposium concluded with an interdepartmental counter-terrorism drill and exchange session, with the participation of the GFS, the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Fire Services Department, showcasing Hong Kong’s professional capabilities in responding to terrorist attacks.
The Controller of the GFS, Captain Eddie Liu, said that the GFS has always played an important role in emergency response and rescue. “In addition to assisting in search and rescue, providing air ambulance and other emergency aeromedical services, the GFS also shoulders the responsibility of maintaining internal security of the HKSAR,” he said.
“In emergencies such as terrorist attacks, the GFS would make rapid deployment to assist the disciplined services in conducting air assault, offering all-round support to the HKSAR Government’s overall counter-terrorism efforts.”
Since its establishment in 1993, the GFS has served at the forefront of round-the-clock search-and-rescue and emergency aeromedical operations, while the ISERAS aims to collectively build a truly transnational pool of professional expertise, thereby underscoring Hong Kong’s status as an aviation hub for emergency response in Asia.
