It would seem that LEGO is a construction set for children, and only children can play with it. But only those who have completely forgotten that he, too, were once a child and killed in himself all the memories of childhood, can say so. And in the world, nevertheless, there are a huge number of people who, even in adulthood, love to build something from LEGO bricks. [/Some even make a name for themselves.
For example, LEGO sculptures by Nathan Sawaya. A few years ago, he worked as a corporate lawyer, but still gave up this monetary profession and took up what made him happy - he began to build all sorts of things from LEGO bricks.
And he achieved such perfection in this matter that now his first solo exhibition is being held at the New York art gallery Agora Gallery. For this exhibition, he presented several of his works from LEGO bricks, depicting mainly people. Rather, not so much people as humanoid figures. After all, Nathan Savaya is an avant-garde artist. And his sculptures are quite avant-garde.
Using LEGO bricks, Nathan Savaya demonstrates that this construction set can be not only a children's toy, but also materials for quite serious artwork. Including avant-garde. How much more mature?
