BRIAN WILDSMITH

We are thrilled to announce that The Wildsmith Estate is now represented by

The Bright Agency

Paul Black, Bright’s Brand Partnership Director, will provide the Estate’s full-service representation, working across literary, licensing and dramatisation. Paul said of the appointment:

"Brian Wildsmith's work is nothing short of extraordinary and I have been desperate to work on this incredible body of work since I met Brian in 2010. Having re-connected with his family last year I am delighted that we’re now forging a new path together. Brian’s work is an eruption of colour, joy and artistic ambition that changed the course of children's publishing - he is very much the illustrators illustrator, his books belong in the same breath as the great classics of the children’s book canon. Our commitment is to ensure that this luminous body of work doesn't simply rest on its laurels, but finds its way into the hands and hearts of a whole new generation."

Something extraordinary is coming to Seoul this summer !

올여름, 서울에 특별한 무언가가 찾아옵니다 !

We are beyond excited to announce the largest and most ambitious exhibition ever held of Brian Wildsmith’s artwork, opening at the Seoul Arts Centre from 7 July - 16 October 2026. Spanning 800 square metres and featuring close to 300 works, this unprecedented exhibition will invite visitors on an immersive voyage inside the boundless imagination of the artist.

6 decades of creativity will leap beyond the page into giant installations and interactive experiences designed to ignite the imagination of visitors of all ages, sending them on a creative quest of their own…

We are equally thrilled and honoured that several renowned Korean artists will be contributing works inspired by Brian’s amazing world of colour, nature and storytelling.

More details to come soon…
