Colinci
I work under the name Colinci. My practice begins with my own experience of identity, but it is never only about me — it extends into how we see and understand one another.
I’m interested in disparity — in the gaps where people become invisible, where identities are constrained or overlooked. These are lived realities, and they sit at the core of my work.
I don’t want to tell the viewer what to think. Instead, I ask for time. My work is layered — physically and conceptually — because identity is layered. As light shifts, the image shifts. What seems clear becomes uncertain. Meaning is never fixed.
I believe we don’t live in singular truths, but in multiplicity. My work holds that tension, inviting a different way of seeing. Through this, I hope to deepen awareness — not by delivering a message, but by allowing something to shift in how we perceive the world.
Colin Hollidge, working under the name Colinci, is a fine artist who uses light to question how visibility works. His practice brings traditional image-making and composition into dialogue with digitally controlled illumination. Light pulses slowly in and out, so images never fully settle. What you see is provisional — attention changes the work.
The visual language is direct and urban. Psychedelic colour mirrors street-level signals: bold, familiar, immediately readable. It draws you in quickly, then asks you to slow down. What looks accessible becomes more complex. The work shifts focus from what is visible to what is usually overlooked — people, labour, and lives that sit just outside the frame.
“My life long study of the cosmos and life around us has enabled me to translate it through my creations.”
