Quentin Devine is an artist, animator and designer from Surrey, England who has previously created a giant mosaic of the Mona Lisa constructed from fan self-portraits, as well as an image of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland using only penny coins. Now, he breaks a world record for The Pokémon Company by creating a mosaic of Pikachu, which is his biggest creation to date.
The Pokémon Company International has partnered with British artist Quentin Devine to create the world’s largest trading card mosaic, consisting of 12,987 individual Pokémon Trading Card Game cards. The massive work of art, measuring 71.54 square metres and hanging at over 10 metres tall and 7 metres wide, was unveiled today in Paris.
The finished mosaic, which secures a new world record, forms the image of Pikachu.
Anthony Cornish, Marketing Director for The Pokémon Company International, said:
“We are incredibly excited to have secured this highly ambitious world record, and are thrilled to have worked with renowned artist Quentin Devine to bring the mosaic to life.”
