The Art of the Brick museum show is currently touring the U.S. It is the first major museum exhibition in the United States to focus exclusively on the use of the popular LEGO® building block as an art medium and artist Nathan Sawaya takes it to new heights.
This New York-based artist is exhibiting more than thirty works created solely from standard LEGO bricks over the period 2002 - 2007 with several new ones created specifically for this exhibit. Nearly one million colorful LEGO pieces transformed into whimsical and awe-inspiring images are on display.
Sawaya's ability to transform this common toy into something meaningful, his devotion to spatial perfection and the way he conceptualizes action, enables him to elevate what almost every child has played with into the status of art.
"These works are very personal to me, since they reflect my growth as an artist as I strove to discover my creative identity," said Sawaya. "The museum exhibit is accessible because it engages the child in all of us while simultaneously illuminating sophisticated and complex concepts."

The Buckle brothers, Billy and Tom, are in big trouble. Tom's bad luck playing the ponies has drained away Billy's savings and he has borrowed from loan shark Pizza Face Petrillo, who wants his money back or else. Grandfather Buckle had plenty of money, but these two black sheep are out of the will. What else to do but dress Billy up as their cousin, which is a nun who is to inherit the entire fortune. Throw in a stuffy lawyer, a hard drinking, man-hungry housekeeper and a trio of beautiful young women, and you have the recipe for a laugh-packed farce of twists, turns, puns and pratfalls.
