Little Artists

Country of residence United Kingdom

Using un-manipulated Lego bricks, the Little Artists make series of art works which question the nature of art in a super-branded cultural climate. In Art Craziest Nation they create versions of well known contemporary artworks and art personalities in miniature- including Hirst's Shark Tank, Warhol's Money and Emin's Bed. Like the “correcting devices” of the Polish artist Zbigniew Libera, their works operate in the gap between the ideal world marketed to children and the quiet distinct realities of social spaces.

They live and work in London and studied at Leeds University.
