One of the reasons I love using LEGO bricks is because it makes the art very relatable and accessible; folks can connect with the art almost on a different level because they have played with it or their kids have played with it.
Nathan SawayaI like using LEGO bricks as a medium because I enjoy seeing peopleโs reaction to artwork created from something with which they are familiar. โฆMy goal is to elevate this simple plaything to a place it has never been before. I also appreciate the cleanliness of the LEGOยฎ brick. The right angles. The distinct lines. But, from a distance, those right angles and distinct lines offer new perspectives, changing to curves.
Nathan SawayaArt makes better humans, art is necessary in understanding the world and art makes people happy. Undeniably, art is not optional.
Nathan SawayaI'm trying to inspire as many people as I can. I want the viewer to enjoy the art and I want the whole family to have something to react to. I hope that folks go home and do a bit of doodling and creating on their own.
