Nathan Sawaya: The Art of the Brick exhibit in PC, Utah

I MUST go see the current main exhibit at the Kimball Art Center in Park City. It is mind-blowing nostalgia in art. Here is a sneak peak of sorts with a link to their website:


"The Art Of The Brick
Nathan Sawaya

Nathan Sawaya is a New York-based artist who creates awe-inspiring works out of some of the most unlikely things. His art focuses on large-scale sculptures using only toy building blocks: LEGO bricks to be exact. Sawaya's ability to transform LEGO bricks into something new, his devotion to scale and color perfection, the way he conceptualizes the action of the subject matter, enables him to elevate an ordinary toy to the status of fine art.

For years, Sawaya's touring exhibition The Art of the Brick has entertained and inspired art lovers and enthusiasts. Now, with four exhibitions touring North America, Asia and Australia, Sawaya is inspiring millions around the globe. Each exhibition focuses on LEGO as an art medium. The creations, constructed from nearly one million pieces, were built from standard bricks beginning as early as 2000. In 2011 CNN named The Art of the Brick one of the top 12 must see exhibitions in the world."










I took that clip about The Art of the Brick from the Kimball Art Center's website:
