The King of Pop’s aesthetic legacy is celebrated in a major art exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery.
Calling all P.Y.Ts – get along to Trafalgar Square to see ‘On The Wall’, a curated selection of more Jacko-inspired art than you can shake a white glove at.
Curated to celebrate what would’ve been the late pop star’s 60th birthday, it brings together work from over 40 artists who’ve depicted the artist in a variety of forms.
According to the curator – none other than Dr Nicholas Cullinan, Director of the National Portrait Gallery – Jackson is actually the most depicted cultural figure in visual art. Why look at the Man in the Mirror when you can look at a charming vase with your face on it?
Catherine Opie, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle and Donald Urquhart are just a few of the artists participating in the exhibition, which draws from public and private art collections from around the world.
Trust us when we tell you that this exhibition is an absolute Thriller! (Sorry.) You’d better hurry though, as it closes on October 21. Get your tickets here.
The exhibition features paintings, photography, sculpture and textile pieces among others; any Michael Jackson will want to head along to ‘On The Wall’. You can’t Beat It! (I really am sorry.)
