Brick Artist Nathan at Work©The Art of the Brick |
Nathan Sawaya had been playing with LEGO since the age of 5 (just like me!). He was an ex-lawyer until 2004 when he discovered that building LEGO is his calling. He is the only person who is recognized as a LEGO Master builder and LEGO certified professional (Which in LEGO world, it means he is one of the best LEGO builder ever)

The Art of the Brick occupies the 3rd floor of Artscience Museum
We were greeted by his most famous work to date - YELLOW
A creation made up of 11014 bricks, it was created in 2006 to symbolise the metamorphosis of his journey.
Somehow a Yellow man spilling his guts out has this mysterious attraction on both young and old.

Intense stuff.

For some reason, Didi decided to mimic a baby T Rex. I think he would like to be part of the exhibit.

Perhaps the answer could be found from the Brick Artist himself.
"It's art made out of a toy. Hopefully it inspires kids ( and maybe grown-ups too) to go home and make art themselves."
So bring the child along. You never know if he or she will turn out to be a future brick master

There is also a gift shop at the end of the exhibit selling various LEGO related stuff as well as memorabilia from The Art of the Bricks. Daddy decided to pick up 2 large minifigs instead. He reckon that these 2 minifigs are the best looking ones to date.
Cost : Priceless
Don't you agree?
There are another 2 exhibits ongoing at ArtScience Museum
Daddy had a sneak peek at them during this trip. Here is a brief of what to expect.
