NB THIS EXHIBITION HAS NOW CLOSED

Celebrating both Star Wars day (May the Fourth) and the birthday of George Lucas on May 14, Generation Gallery in Manchester city centre, will be hosting an exhibition between May 4 and May 25 featuring the Star Wars official fine art collection.

Each piece of art is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Lucasfilm, original artwork as well as pieces limited to less then 95 worldwide will be on show. As well as work from new and exciting artists, the collection includes pieces by movie poster designer, the late John Alvin.

“Lucasfilm are shaking things up, working with a new breed of retro artists to create pieces of illustrative art that I think will really surprise fans. The studio are releasing a collection of Victorian inspired portraits featuring the Star Wars characters, these pieces especially, are a good  example of how daring this artwork is,” gallery manager Robert Marks noted.

Fans from all over the country can attend the invitation-only launch event, sponsored by Fab Cafe, on the evening of May 4 at the gallery where they can mix with Darth Vader and a squad of his Stormtroopers while enjoying the artwork. Tickets to the opening event are free but fans need to call 0161 247 7870 to be added to the guest list.
