The Art of the Brick®
Sculptures by Nathan Sawaya
February 5-May 2, 2010
The Art of the Brick focuses on the wonderful creations by New York-based artist Nathan Sawaya using the popular LEGO® building block as an art medium. The exhibit features 29 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 were used to create his whimsical and awe-inspiring sculptures. Sawaya's ability to transform this common toy into something meaningful to capture action and movement enables him to elevate child's play into fine art. Artist Nathan Sawaya has been featured on "The Today Show," "Late Night with David Letterman," and "The Colbert Report." His works are on display in major museums across the country. Partial underwriting for this exhibit is provided by Gertrude Hawk Chocolates, Inc., Penn Security Bank & Trust Co., and The Oppenheim Family.
