| จาก Inspiration from Nathan Sawaya's artworks |
Nathan Sawaya has taken a childhood fascination with a
ubiquitousbuilding block and transformed it into a
captivating artistic medium.Sawaya constructs
large-scale sculptures with LEGO® bricks,utilizing their
multifarious shapes and brilliant colors to create awide
range of subjects including desserts, planets, pop
cultureicons, and even a life-sized self-portrait.
Sawaya, thoughworkingwith a decidedly unyielding
medium, is able to create expressionistimages that
effect lithe curves and forms. Within his oeuvre, one
isstruck by the endless possibilities of this medium;
it is as limitlessas his fertileimagination.Moreover,
Sawaya’s work is a testament to thebricks as a
meansfor creating fine art, something that has great
power, as is indicatedby viewer’s reactions.
“I am seeing children and families whohave never
stepped into an art galleryin their lives being drawn
inbecause of my work.” Sawaya livesand works
in Manhattan.His work may be seen at
www.Art-Mine.com/ArtistPage/Nathan_Sawaya.aspxSawaya’s
upcoming premier marks the first occasion of a solo
exhibition comprised entirely of LEGO bricks
in New York.
