By Mulder, 24 october 2023

Exhibition Hub and Fever, the leading entertainment and leisure discovery platform, are delighted to announce the much-anticipated return of The Art of the Brick: Exposition d'Art en LEGO  to Paris. This globally acclaimed exhibition will open its doors on December 15, 2023, at the renowned Galeries Montparnasse, located at 22 rue du Départ in the heart of Paris's 15th arrondissement.

The Art of the Brick has enthralled more than 10 million visitors worldwide, captivating audiences with its remarkable LEGO art sculptures. After previous successful exhibitions in France, including Paris in 2015 and Toulouse recently, as well as international tours in New York, Sydney, Shanghai, Brussels, Milan, and beyond, this original showcase is returning to Paris, much to the delight of LEGO enthusiasts and art lovers.

Nathan Sawaya, the visionary artist behind this remarkable exhibition, has sculpted over a hundred stunning creations from a staggering one million LEGO bricks. Among these masterpieces are exceptional reproductions of iconic artworks, such as Michelangelo's David, Rodin's The Thinker, Van Gogh's Starry Night, Edvard Munch's The Scream, Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring, and many more.

The Art of the Brick: Exposition d'Art en LEGO is not just an art exhibition; it's a family-friendly event that, as Nathan Sawaya puts it, appeals to the child in all of us while illuminating sophisticated and complex concepts. It rekindles the wonder of LEGO in the hearts of both young and old.

Don't miss this extraordinary collaboration between Nathan Sawaya and photographer Andrei Duman. In an unprecedented fusion of art and science, they explore the connection between Sawaya's LEGO sculptures and the intricate processes of organogenesis, which transform cells into complete organs. This unique series highlights the fragility of the human body while encouraging visitors to care for it.

Nathan Sawaya's journey from a childhood LEGO enthusiast to a world-renowned artist is nothing short of remarkable. He introduced LEGO bricks to the realm of art, creating awe-inspiring, large-scale sculptures using these iconic building blocks. His work has received numerous accolades, and he has been a speaker at prestigious events such as Google, TEDx, and Yahoo!. Some even call him the Leonardo da Vinci of LEGO for his groundbreaking contributions to contemporary art.

In addition to the awe-inspiring original and classic reproductions, the exhibition will feature creative workshops, igniting the artist within each of us. Children and adults alike can enjoy an interactive play and construction area filled with thousands of LEGO bricks.
