The Art of Brick: Lego Sculptures by Nathan Sawaya

The Art of the Brick focuses on the wonderful creations by New York-based artist Nathan Sawaya using the popular LEGO® building block as an art medium. The exhibit features 29 works created solely from standard LEGO bricks over the period 2002-2007 with several new ones created specifically for this exhibit. Nearly one million colorful LEGO® pieces were used to create his whimsical and awe-inspiring sculptures. Sawaya's ability to transform this common toy into something meaningful to capture action and movement enables him to elevate child's play into fine art. Artist Nathan Sawaya has been featured on "The Today Show," "Late Night with David Letterman," and "The Colbert Report."

We saw this exhibit last weekend. It was very well done. I'm astonished at the rounded sculptures the artist was able to create with rectagular bricks, and furthermore, the sheer number of bricks used. (How are these items transported??) You have to see it to believe it!
