It wasn’t a surprise that Burra’s field trip to go look at LEGO portraits filled up quickly. You’re going to have to see your friends’ pictures and hope it runs again soon.
LEGO has been going since forever … well … 1940’s.
In its most basic form it’s rectangular blocks that squeeze together until you want them apart again. It’s more than that! With these little blocks you can create whole worlds that at the end of the day can simply be pulled apart. There are no wrong answers here.
LEGO themselves used portraits as part of an advertisement campaign created by Geometry Global agency:
Nathan Sawaya is an artist that specializes in large scale LEGO models (he does other sculptures too).
These faces are nearly two meters tall making them very detailed (photo: Jonathan Liu, Wired)
This is Sawaya’s signature piece and is life size. This picture and more from Art of the Brick can be found at The Avant Guardian.
To quote Sawaya himself, “Dreams are built one brick at a time.”
At a recent Bricks in Time exhibit at Rheged, Penrith, built by Bright Bricks, LEGO portraits came in two extremes of a large scale roman style chap and this fun self portrait from the kids corner. Both great.
Breaking pixel rules a bit, Marco Pece combines LEGO backgrounds and Mini-figures to recreate artworks. There are more of his LEGO art on Flickr.
