JAMES COLOMINA
Biography
James Colomina, a mysterious and committed French street artist, has made a name for himself on the art scene with his daring installations in public spaces.
With a heightened sensitivity to social and political injustice, he uses his red sculptures as tools for reflection and dialogue. His work, regularly compared to that of Banksy, combines poetry and social criticism to question the major issues of our time.
His creations, centred on human figures – often children – symbolise innocence and fragility confronted with the complexity of the adult world. Installed in unusual or emblematic locations, his works captivate as much by their refined aesthetic as by their powerful messages.
The ‘Colomina Red’, the artist’s visual signature, embodies the anger, passion and urgency of the issues he tackles. James Colomina favours a clandestine, spontaneous approach: he places his works directly in the street, without prior announcement, transforming everyday spaces into platforms for artistic reflection. From the war-torn ruins of Kiev to the bustling avenues of New York and the symbols of resilience in Berlin, his sculptures captivate and move. James Colomina offers a singular and profoundly human voice in the world of contemporary street art.
