AME72 has made a name for himself in the contemporary art world. Well known as the ‘Lego guy’, AME72 has become famous for his iconic lego prints, and has exhibited in world renowned galleries, museums and auctions, as well as featuring in numerous publications, including the recent bestseller, The Cult of Lego. AME72 describes his work as ‘conceptual pop art’, blending street with pop for an appealing aesthetic with a message borrowing from urban texture, his prints are a twenty first century comment on society’s economic abundance, consumerism and commercialism. Filled with artistic allusion, ‘Spot Painter’ depicts a lego figure in overalls, a roller in his hand and a can of multicoloured paint at his feet. The wall behind him has been covered with colourful spots in a tongue in cheek reference to early Damien Hirst. It’s a bold, brash and fun piece, smart in its naive simplicity and brimming with magnetic charm.
