Set to make its debut on London’s iconic Brick Lane in Shoreditch on 6th March, this extraordinary exhibit invites guests to step into the imaginative world of artist Nathan Sawaya. Comprising over a million LEGO® bricks, the all-new show features an impressive collection of 90+ sculptures, showcasing Sawaya’s mastery in transforming these colourful bricks into awe-inspiring works of art.
Get ready to witness re-imagined versions of some of the world’s most renowned masterpieces, including Michelangelo’s David, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Alongside these iconic recreations, the exhibition boasts a diverse array of creative and imaginative original works, each a testament to Sawaya’s unique artistic vision.
Exhibition Hub, a pioneer in traveling immersive entertainment, in partnership with Fever, the leading global live-entertainment discovery platform, have announced that Art of The Brick Immersive Experience will make its world premiere in London this March in Shoreditch.
Alongside the re-imagining of iconic art world pieces, the exhibition will also unveil of a giant version of ‘Yellow’ — Sawaya’s most famous sculpture and ‘Perniciem’ (Latin for ruin, disaster, and death) that highlights endangered species in their natural environments.
Exhibition Hub is the company behind the wildly popular Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, Claude Monet: The Immersive Experience and the new, international smash hit Bubble Planet. Exhibition Hub has been working with Mr. Sawaya and his team for the past three years to bring the all-new Art of The Brick Immersive Experience to life.
“London holds a special place in my heart and I’m very excited to be bringing the Art of the Brick back to Brick Lane after almost 10 years. I was touched by how many people connected with my art in 2014 and I hope to rekindle the magic I felt here 10 years ago and share the art with a city that never ceases to amaze me.” said Mr. Sawaya.
Gilles Colinet, Marketing Director & Lead Design Exhibition Hub noted: “With The Art of The Brick, the only exhibition of its kind in the world to showcase the art of Nathan Sawaya, we are particularly pleased to be able to offer visitors of all ages the chance to discover the art of Lego sculpture in a way they never did before!”
The exhibition promises to be a fun day out for adults and children alike, including a ‘Play and Build’ area that gives guests free reign to explore their creativity, while also experiencing both familiar pieces for art-fans and pieces exploring childhood fun and emotions.
