Agora Gallery is delighted to announce the eagerly-anticipated return of Nathan Sawaya, the artist who creates his remarkable sculptures entirely out of LEGO bricks. This new exhibition, RED, represents a new shift in the career of the internationally famous Sawaya, presenting his most recent works which enter fresh and original territory for both himself and the medium.
We were delighted to be able to interview Nathan personally about his career in an unusual art medium, and about the new turn his work has taken. If you are curious to know what he sees as the quintessential LEGO brick, what he loves about LEGO or how his work fits into the fine art world, read on!
Many readers will remember the exhibition which took place in Agora Gallery’s adjacent gallery this year featuring the remarkable LEGO creations of Nathan Sawaya – and many people will be delighted to hear that he is due to return to Agora Gallery in November with more of his amazing LEGO sculptures.
Nathan’s work is deeply thought-provoking in its own right, and deals with serious issues and ideas, presented to a willing audience in an accessible and appealing manner. Yet he is not the only artist to have discovered the power of this unusual medium – recently, LEGO sculptures and works have been appearing in various unexpected places.
A new exhibition is coming to Agora Gallery’s new gallery space – Brick by Brick: the LEGO Brick sculpture of Nathan Sawaya. It will run from March 23, 2010 until April 13, 2010, with the opening reception taking place from 6pm until 8pm on Thursday, March 25, 2010. The reception is free entry to all comers, so come along and take a look!
We are very excited to announce the opening of this unique show, as it will be the very first solo exhibition in New York to feature only works made up of Lego bricks.
