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. ‘Spaceman Candy’ is a re release of his timeless bestseller, updated in a new, pop art inspired palette. The smiling, helmeted figure this time dressed in white is blown up to huge proportions and set against a flat, candy pink background. It’s bold, brash and fun, powerful in its naive simplicity and full of magnetic charm.
