The Art of the Brick

The Art of the Brick is a traveling exposition that is currently being held in the city of Barcelona (Cúpula Events CC Arenas) in which North American artist Nathan Sawaya (a prestigious lawyer that left his law office to fully pursue art) creates unique figures exclusively using Lego pieces.
