Felt Imaginarium

Having received worldwide attention for her felt installations in cities such as London, New York, and Los Angeles, Lucy Sparrow’s Felt Art Imaginarium is the artist’s first exhibition in Asia, and comprises an immersive installation specially commissioned for M WOODS in Beijing, China.

For this ambitious exhibition, Sparrow has recreated 70 masterpieces from the annals of art history and covered the entirety of the museum in her signature, colourful felt. In line with M WOODS’ founding philosophy that art be F.A.T. (Free, Alchemical, Timeless), Sparrow fills the galleries with her own felt reincarnations of artworks from across time and geographies, ranging from ancient monuments and historical artefacts, to Renaissance and Old Master paintings, to modern and contemporary masterworks. By immersing viewers in her world and the distinctive language of felt, Sparrow rewrites the conventional narratives of art history while simultaneously making masterpieces within the canon more approachable and accessible. The museum is fully transformed into Sparrow’s art imaginarium, where viewers can see art from around the world and through the ages in an experience that is at once both thrilling and educational.
