James Ame (Ame72) British 'Artist'
"I grew up playing with LEGO, not watching TV".
James Ame (aka Ame72) is a full-time artist who does street art and graffiti around the world.
Also known as “The Lego Guy”, he uses these mass-produced molded smiling toy puppets, as a mean to transmit a message in his art prints. Messages borrowed from the urban texture and aimed towards the society’s characteristics: economic abundance, consumerism and commercialization.
Ame has exhibited in numerous renowned museums, galleries and auctions around the world and has collaborated with companies such as LEGO, Facebook, BMW Mini and even painted a huge 38m x 7m mural on the side of the Rideback Movie Studios in LA, (where they make the official LEGO movies).
