Brick art


Reflection by Nathan Sawaya August 2006

From The Art of the Brick:
"Some artists use paint, others bronze – But for Nathan Sawaya he chooses to build his awe-inspiring art out of toy building blocks. LEGO® bricks to be exact.

With more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his New York studio, Sawaya’s sculptures take many forms."
An exhibition of Sawaya's work Architecture of the Imagination: The Lure of the LEGO® Brick is currently on display at the Stamford Museum, Connecticut, until August 18.
