Provenance: Consigned for sale by the author Richard Booth. Gifted to Richard by the artist. Richard has co written books with Bronson, including 'Hell on Earth' and 'Words from the Soul'. Charles Arthur Salvador, 'Charlie', (born Michael Gordon Peterson also known as Charles Bronson), was born 6 December 1952. He is an English criminal who is often referred to in the British press as the "most violent prisoner in Britain" and "Britain's most notorious prisoner". Charlie is one of the highest-profile criminals in Britain and has been featured in books, interviews, and studies in prison reform and treatment. He was the subject of the 2008 film Bronson starring Tom Hardy, a biopic based loosely around his life. Bronson has written many books about his experiences and famous prisoners he has met throughout his incarceration. A self-declared fitness fanatic who has spent many years in segregation, Bronson dedicated a book to exercising in confined spaces. He has also cultivated a reputation as an outsider artist, with his paintings and illustrations of prison and psychiatric hospital life being publicly exhibited and winning him multiple awards. Charlie has 11 Koestler Trust awards for his art and poetry. Some people say the artwork shows the dark corners of a disturbed mind, but supporters say the scenes reflect the events he has witnessed and lived. It is art that has come straight from his soul. It was in 1994 at HMP Wakefield that prison officer Mick O'Hagan encouraged him to take up art, and his lifelong love of art has been his saviour ever since. Charles, who changed his surname as a mark of respect to one of his favourite artists Salvador Dali, is said to have drawn "the madness he has come in contact with." "Nobody condones criminality, but I do believe that offenders can be helped to break the cycle of reoffending. Charlie himself has used his art to help rehabilitate himself. Helping young offenders has become increasingly important to Charles he wants to use his experience to prevent others following the same path" - Richard Booth.

PHILIP COLBERT (SCOTTISH 1979-) THE DEATH OF MARAT AND THE BIRTH OF THE LOBSTER Signed, oil on canvasDimensions:180cm x 240.5cm (70.75in x 94in)Note: Note:‘I became an artist when I became a lobster’. – Philip ColbertLyon & Turnbull are proud to present to auction The Death of Marat and the Birth of The Lobster, a major painting by the leading contemporary British artist Philip Colbert. All proceeds from the sale will support a scholarship programme at the University of St Andrews, offering financial support to students on its new Museum and Heritage Studies part time course.Colbert has taken up the legacy of Pop Art with such commitment and relish that he has been referred to as 'The Godson of Andy Warhol'. To Colbert, Pop’s lexicon is an egalitarian and highly effective vehicle for distilling and conveying universal symbols with immediacy. It is also an excellent conduit for satire, which Colbert recognises as the most universally effective method of communicating ideas that, in his words, 'shake the cage.' His take on Pop is nevertheless hugely original and feels fresh and accessible. His highly saturated, airbrushed finish eliminates any trace of the artist’s hand in favour of an aesthetic that cleverly makes us second guess whether it is digitally generated. His work is also replete with art historical reference points, inverting and toying with his audience’s perception of Pop’s throwaway or disposable imagery.Colbert is also frequently described as a ‘Neo-Surrealist’ and The Lobster, his muse and alter-ego, is inherently steeped in the legacy of Salvador Dali, a forebear who also found himself drawn to the alien and absurd qualities of this extraordinary creature. As ever with Colbert however, the meaning is many layered. His adoption of the lobster speaks also to a fascination with its earlier symbolism within Dutch still life as a metaphor for mortality. Lobsters have been known to live for hundreds of years, and Colbert seeks to harness the lobster’s history as a cipher for humanity’s wrestle with our transience in this world.The Death of Marat and the Birth of The Lobster was the centrepiece of Colbert’s eponymous exhibition in 2021 which marked the re-opening of the Wardlaw Museum after its redevelopment. Prior to establishing himself as a highly successful visual artist, Colbert graduated from the University of St. Andrews in Philosophy. During his studies he also undertook classes in Art History, and it was here that the artist encountered David’s famous painting The Death of Marat, sparking several important connections for the artist.Jean-Paul Marat, the famous French revolutionary, also graduated from St Andrews, receiving a medical degree in 1775. When the French Revolution began in 1789, he led a political group called the Jacobins, who wanted to depose the monarchy and form a republic. Charlotte Corday was also a revolutionary but sought political ends with less slaughter. She despised Marat for executing thousands of people. In 1793 she murdered him in his bath. David, a friend of Marat’s, created his famous painting the same year.In this work we find not a dead Marat, but a relaxed lobster scrolling through his smart phone in the bath. The lobster wears pyjamas patterned with fried eggs, yet another symbol of Colbert’s, who used to make his own clothing. Colbert is drawn visually to the egg as a wonderfully pared back, almost modernist form (a 'mini-Mondrian', as the artist would have it), but also as an historic symbol of life and re-birth.This work can be described as a distillation of formative experiences and themes that shaped Colbert’s artistic development, the trigger points of his extraordinarily imaginative creative world. Combined with it having been central to a major exhibition and now sold as an altruistic endeavour, it would not be an exaggeration to describe this as an important painting in the artist’s oeuvre, and a rare and exciting opportunity for collectors of his work.
