(14 May 2015) 'THE ART OF BRICK' IN PARIS
Famous American artist Nathan Sawaya's exhibition "The Art of the Brick," showcasing sculptures made entirely of Lego bricks, opened in Paris on Thursday (14 May 2015).
A former lawyer, Sawaya quit his job in a New York law firm in the early 2000's to follow his passion - Lego art.
He first introduced Lego sculptures to the art world in 2007 and has since staged exhibitions in North America, Asia, Australia and Europe.
At the center of the exhibit is Sawaya's 'yellow' - his most famous piece made from 11,014 yellow bricks- and a six metre long skeleton of a dinosaur made from 80,020 bricks.
Nathan Sawaya has also been inspired by masterpieces from art history, such as 'The Thinker' by French sculptor Auguste Rodin, 'The Scream' by Norwegian painter Edvard Munch and 'Mona Lisa' by Italian artist and engineer Leonardo da Vinci.
'The Art of the Brick' runs at Paris Expo-Porte de Versailles from 14 May until 30 August 2015.
The exhibition includes over 100 art sculptures made from more than one million Lego plastic bricks.
It has previously visited London, New York, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Shanghai and Singapore.
