Today, the LEGO Group launched LEGO Art, a new canvas experience designed for adult builders to create their very own LEGO artwork portrait of pop culture icons!

Through LEGO Art sets, adults can experience a different 2D tile creative concept as they use LEGO tiles to transform a blank canvas with small interlinking base plates. Keeping self-expression at the forefront, each set can be reimagined in a number of different ways to best represent each unique builder, allowing them to creatively transform their passion into art.

LEGO Art includes four sets across film, TV and music – something for every adult wanting to destress and pay homage to their famous idols. Debut LEGO Art sets include:

• LEGO Art’s Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe | 3,332 pieces | 4-in-1 Collectible Wall Art Building Kit for Adults
• LEGO Art’s The Beatles | 2,933 pieces | 4-in-1 Collectible Wall Art Building Kit for Adults
• LEGO Art’s Marvel Studios Iron Man | 3,156 pieces | 3-in-1 Collectible Wall Art Building Kit for Adults
• LEGO Art’s Star Wars The Sith (31200) | 3,395 pieces | 3-in-1 Collectible Wall Art Building Kit for Adults

The sets will be available September 1st from LEGO Retail Stores and LEGO.com as well as retailers, with the only exception of LEGO Marvel Studios Iron Man set which will be a LEGO Retail Stores and LEGO.com only.
