Mr. Men Little Miss Reimagined is 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 between 7th June - 21st July, will showcase a selection of exclusive original works, prints and merchandise, playfully reimagining the Hargreaves family's world-famous 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 five 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. 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 franchise'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.
The exhibition will be opened with a private view on the 7th June from 7-10pm at the gallery. Free tickets will be available from the Helm website: helm-gallery.com
