Lego Artist Takes Shape And Form

Artist express themselves in various ways, for me I like to use words to paint my audiences a picture. Nathan Sawaya's prefers Legos. The contemporary artist transforms those colorful plastic bricks that delight children, wreak havoc on vacuum cleaners and inflict pain on bare feet, into amazing sculptures.  Talk about a unique way to express yourself. Sawaya has created new works for the New York show, featuring more than 100 sculptures constructed from millions of plastic bricks. And If you've visited a Lego land theme park and think you've seen Lego sculptures, expect edgier stuff from Sawaya. I had a chance to see his latest work in the Metro news this morning called "Swimmer" It went on display in the "Art of the Brick" show at Discovery Times Square on June 18.
