Mr. Men Little Miss Reimagined
Helm Gallery is honoured to announce Mr. Men Little Miss Reimagined
a group exhibition reimagining the iconic children’s book series through the
lens of contemporary art.
Taking place at Helm in Brighton – the city’s largest contemporary gallery.
The exhibition, which is open to the public until 21st July, sees this amazing
collaboration with official Mr. Men Little Miss brought to the heart of the city.
During this time, Helm will showcase a selection of exclusive original works,
prints and merchandise, playfully reimagining the Hargreaves family’s worldfamous
characters and imagery across an eclectic mix of never before seen
artwork.
Helm’s expansive exhibition hall will be completely taken over for six weeks,
with artworks from six exciting contemporary artists from the UK, France and
Armenia. The work will range from paintings to pencil drawings, hand-gilded
glass to AI compositions, with limited-edition prints and merchandise created
especially for the event. Clients can pick up t-shirts, tote bags, hoodies, and
even limited edition wall clocks on their visit to Helm – all of which will feature
the specially designed artwork. In conjunction with the exhibition,
internationally acclaimed artist Will Blood will be creating a public art mural in
the lanes, which can be watched live.
Mirroring the brand’s everlasting, international appeal, the artists involved
represent a broad spectrum of talent, each expressing their love and
relationship to the series through their own unique style.
The exhibition is the ultimate love-letter to a series whose enduring popularity
has spanned generations, and introduced millions of children across the world
to literature and art.
Adam Hargreaves himself will be attending the exhibition and offering
members of the public the incredible opportunity to receive an original
drawing by the renowned illustrator, created in front of them, especially for the
show.
