Nathan Sawaya 

Nathan Sawaya  a New York-based artist who creates awe-inspiring works out of some of the most unlikely things. His recent North American museum tours feature large-scale sculptures using only toy building blocks. LEGO® bricks to be exact.

Today Sawaya has more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his New York art studio. His work is obsessively and painstakingly crafted and is both beautiful and playful. Sawaya’s ability to transform LEGO bricks into something new, his devotion to scale and color perfection, the way he conceptualizes the action of the subject matter, enables him to elevate an ordinary toy to the status of fine art.

Lego has been with us for 50 years. The Lego company began producing plastic products in 1947 two years later the automatic binding brick were made. They did not yet process the unique binding mechanism that defines true Lego bricks.

When creating my Creative CV i decided to use Lego which i had developed for an earlier project entitled 'My Name Is'. This is an example of work created for that project. I made 6 different  cards with an individual image on each one showing my different persona's.
