​Artist’s Statement
In my day job as a builder, I often meet interesting people. Colin is the CEO of his own company, POP ART.
In the course of our contract, I worked out he was a character with character, an Industrial designer with a maverick approach, successfully building his empire into one of Australia's biggest in its field. Extremely Archibald worthy.
 
He was so much fun to paint. I wanted to show his cheeky smile, and his fun demeanor.  I'd like to think he's a mix of the" foot in mouth" of Larry David with a wee bit Hugh Grant charm.  Hopefully the viewer can spot this in what I see as one of the best of my 22 Archibald entries.
