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.
