Brick by Brick
27 November - 22 January 2022
This exhibition gathers the work of 18 professional artists, designers and photographers from around the world who use LEGO® bricks as their medium or inspiration. Using this simple plastic construction block as their starting point, they have created stunning, thought provoking and often humorous artworks which we hope will appeal to art enthusiasts and LEGO® fans alike.Several of the artworks on show here have been created especially for this exhibition: James Paterson has produced 16 canvases which each document a ‘LEGO® first’ - including the first LEGO® baby and the first pirate ever made by the LEGO Group.
