A scintillating screen-print exhibition inspired by the cinema of Guillermo del Toro –
Little White Lies magazine has dedicated the pages of its most recent issue to the film Crimson Peak, a gorgeous, gruelling gothic romance from cinema's premiere fabulist, Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hell Boy).
To extend this celebration, we are curating an exhibition which glances back over his fantastical cinematic oeuvre, from his auspicious 1993 debut, Cronos, right through to big-budget spectacles such as 2013's Pacific Rim.
In the literary spirit of Crimson Peak, a hand-picked selection of artists will re-interpret each film as a book cover, and each artwork will be displayed A1 size at LWLies' 71a Gallery space.
