James Colomina

France • 1975

James Colomina hijacks public space to plant silent cries in red.

Biography

James Colomina, a mysterious and committed French street artist, has made his mark on the art scene thanks to 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, blends poetry and social critique to address the major issues of our time.

His creations, centered on human figures—often children—symbolize innocence and fragility confronted with the complexity of the adult world. Installed in unusual or emblematic locations, his works captivate as much for their refined aesthetic as for their powerful messages.
The artist's visual signature, "Colomina Red," embodies the anger, passion, and urgency of the issues he addresses.

Colomina favors a clandestine and spontaneous approach: he places his works directly on the street, without prior notice, transforming everyday spaces into platforms for artistic reflection. From the heartbreaking ruins of wartime kyiv to the bustling avenues of New York City and the symbols of resilience in Berlin, his sculptures captivate and move. James Colomina thus offers a singular and profoundly human voice in the world of contemporary street art.
