Have you heard of the Art of the Brick exhibition? If not, open those eyes and ears, because this LEGO® art exhibition has taken the world by storm, having already appeared in over 100 cities around the world over the years.
Here in London, Art of the Brick is currently located rather aptly on the famed Brick Lane. This mind-blowing exhibition of over 150 works of LEGO® artworks is ready to astound young and old minds alike with a moving sculpture, a 20-foot-tall masterpiece, and reimagined versions of iconic art.
What can you expect to see at this LEGO® exhibition in London?
Art of the Brick features artworks created by corporate-lawyer-turned-contemporary-artist Nathan Sawaya, who, all together, has used over one million LEGO® bricks at this exhibition. Some of his sculptures reimagine the world’s most famous artworks: expect to see the likes of Michelangelo’s David, Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa built out of LEGO®. The patience and commitment it must take to create these pieces blows my mind!
Although Art of the Brick has appeared in over 100 cities already – Sydney to Shanghai, Miami to Milan – London is just the second city to exhibit the marvellous kinetic skull installation. This impressive piece comprises over 250 moving LEGO® skulls that use light and sound to appear endless. Another even more astounding sculpture is the 20-foot dinosaur skeleton, again, made purely out of LEGO® bricks.
As well as the sculptures, Art of the Brick also boasts a photoshoot area, with a green screen, where you can pose between several LEGO®-related backgrounds for the ultimate keepsake. If you’re inspired after exploring the exhibition, you’ll have the chance to put your creativity to the test at the LEGO® blocks area. What will you create?
