For those of you who love a challenging LEGO kit, not just to enjoy building but to proudly display in your home, prepare yourself for new wall art sets that give you the chance, for example, to recreate Andy Warhol’s famous 1967 screenprint of Marilyn Monroe.
Launching this month, LEGO Art allows you to transform a blank canvas using LEGO tiles to create a piece that pays homage to Warhol but also The Beatles, and iconic characters from the Marvel Universe and Star Wars.
“We know adults are always trying to destress after a day at work, and we thought, what better way to help them switch off than by encouraging them to explore their favourite passion in a new creative way?” says Louise Elizabeth Bontoft, senior design director at LEGO Group. “With these wider-ranging designs, we believe that we can inspire film fans, music lovers and art and design aficionados to immerse themselves in a world of art and creativity linked to their idols.”
This is the second 2D tile concept introduced by LEGO this year, following the launch of LEGO DOTS with Camille Walala in January. That was especially for children, now Art sets hope to offer adults a chance to get creative but also help them relax and recharge.
