Happy Place: The Art of The Brick

Everyone loves Lego. But New York artist Nathan Sawaya loves Lego a little more than all of us combined. He loves Lego so much that he quit his job as a lawyer to follow his dream: become a brick artist. And we are glad that he did because...WOAH!

Having travelled the world over, Nathan's incredible brick sculptures have now landed at the Old Truman Brewery (London). It took nearly six months for the artist to create all the pieces on show with some of them - like the dinosaur - requiring over 80,000 bricks! We don't want to reveal too much about the pieces themselves as we don't want to spoil the surprise for you, but be assured that they are phenomenal: from the Mona Lisa to Classic Greek statues, there is nothing that this brick master cannot build.

If you can't make it to London and need some brick inspiration, check out Nathan's Instagram feed here.

The Art of the Brick opens today and runs until the 4th January at the Old Truman Brewery. Book your tickets
