Nathan Sawaya, a 33 year old New York based artist builds a living out of Lego. He left his career as a lawyer and became a Lego artist. Sawaya's art is currently touring North American museums in a show titled 'The Art of the Brick'. It's the only exhibition that focus exclusively on Lego as an art medium.
- According to journalist Scott Jones, Sawaya is a surrealist mash-up of forms and artists. Imagine Frank Lloyd Wright crossed with
Ray Harryhausen2 , or Auguste Rodin3 crossed with Shigeru Miyamoto4, and you start to get a sense of where Sawaya is coming from.
