Exclusive Marvel Artwork

The talented European artists responsible for some of the exclusive artwork include:

French MARVEL artist Olivier Coipel, famous for his work on The Avengers, Thor and Spider-Man, created a powerful representation of Thor: God of Thunder in a comic-book style, using an overlap of vibrant red and blue colors highlighting the duality between the Super Hero’s mythological and human sides and using forced perspective to bring out the action.

French MARVEL artist Stéphanie Hans, featured in MARVEL Comics including Asgardians of the Galaxy, Black Bolt, and many more, created an impressive realistic portrait of a determined and strong Captain Marvel, depicted in full flight and surrounded by her photonic power.

UK comic book artist Tula Lotay, whose work on MARVEL Comics include stories of powerful Characters like Black Widow, Gamora and Scarlet Witch, created a vibrant and strong comic-book style portrait of Black Widow whose black costume contrasts with the almost expressionistic brightly colored background.

Italian designers and twin brothers Van Orton have created incredible pop art and almost neon-like portraits of Hulk, Captain America, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel using bright and vibrant colors.

UK artist Liam Brazier, known for his geometric reinterpretations of iconic characters, created several pieces for the hotel including heroic contemporary portraits of Captain America, Thor and Hulk using saturated and bright colors as well as lines highlighting the dynamism of the Super Heroes’ poses.

Spanish artist Carlos Gomez created huge backlit black and white comic panels that greet Guests as they enter the lobby, depicting the exciting and dynamic story of the Avengers uniting in New York City in an inclusive way, to be understandable by everyone even with no dialogue.

Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel also includes a space dedicated to temporary art exhibitions, The Jack Kirby Legacy Gallery, that showcases artworks for limited periods. This area also offers a permanent exhibition dedicated to Jack Kirby himself – the “The King of Comics” – with 21 comic book covers drawn by this legend. It is to him that we owe the creation of the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, the adventures of Thor and the Avengers. Guests eager to learn more about the stories behind the artwork displayed in the hotel lobby and Jack Kirby Legacy Gallery are invited to call upon our Art Guardians, a selection of specially trained Cast Members with additional knowledge.

The hotel boutique has been thought of as a museum shop where guests can purchase beautiful reproductions of some of the MARVEL artwork displayed in the hotel. This boutique, directly inspired by Tony Stark’s iconic Wall Of Armor, displays collector figurines, art books, exclusive editions of MARVEL Comic Books, and many items directly related to the architecture and design of the hotel, including statuette reproductions of Iron Man armors on display in the lobby.
