We’ve got some fantastic news for Game of Thrones fans living London: a Game of Thrones pop-up gallery is coming your way this November. That basically means that several pieces of officially sanctioned GoT artwork will appear in a gallery. From the press release:
"Celebrating the release of Season 6, available now on Digital Download … a number of ambitious and innovative creations inspired by the characters and themes of the TV show will be on display in the GAME OF THRONES ART GALLERY at 135 Bethnal Green Road in London’s Shoreditch from Thursday 10th – Sunday 13th November."
In addition to art from working artists, the pop-up gallery will feature stuff from people who work on the show. For example, attendees will get a load of work by storyboarder William Simpson, plus sketches by Michele Clapton, the show’s costume czar. It’ll also sport pieces from MEY, Clapton’s line of Game of Thrones-inspired jewelry.
The artwork comes in all shapes and sizes:
"Featuring installations and artwork made from a variety of materials including wood, paper, embroidery, chainmail and mosaic tiles to large scale prints from illustrators, painters and graphic designers, the variety of work on display from talented UK artists will ensure this is a must-visit exhibition for any Game of Thrones or general art enthusiast."
Finally, the show will feature 10 pieces of fan art chosen by Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran Stark) from a competition that ran on the HBO UK website. The pop-up gallery will be located at 135 Bethnal Green Road in London. Here are the times and dates it will be open:
