The Art of the Brick April 27, 2007

What seems like child's play to others is one artist's life work. 'The Art of the Brick' clicks into place at the Lancaster Museum of Art. It is the first major museum exhibition in the United States to focus exclusively on the use of the popular LEGO(R) building block as an art medium and artist Nathan Sawaya takes it to new heights. This 33-year-old New York artist will be exhibiting more than twenty-five works created solely from standard LEGO bricks over the period 2002-2006 with several new ones created specifically for this gallery showing. Nearly one million colorful LEGO pieces transformed into whimsical and awe-inspiring images will be on display.
