Nathan Sawaya’s breathtaking Art of the Brick exhibition is back in Singapore! The world’s most popular display of LEGO art, the exhibition opened at Singapore EXPO on August 31, 2024.
It has been more than a decade since Art of the Brick exhibited in Singapore. The last time was back in 2012 till 2013 at the ArtScience Museum. That was more than a decade ago and so be sure to catch it while it is in Singapore this time around.
Art Of The Brick: Blockbuster LEGO Exhibition
Over one million LEGO bricks have been transformed into more than 150 sculptures by artist Nathan Sawaya for the LEGO exhibition Art of the Brick. There are 12 rooms to visit in total at the exhibition.
Start by watching an introduction video. This provides a glimpse into the thinking and process that goes on behind the scene to stage such a large scale show.
Once you are done with the view, make your way into the Artist Studio to learn even more about the show and the creative process behind it.
The next room is one of our favourites at the LEGO exhibition. The Yellow room features one of the signature pieces of the exhibition – a man opening his chest to let a multitude of bricks pour out. This piece can be quite provocative as it appears to symbolise the human figure exposing what is closest to his heart.
Next enter the Skulls room. As the name implies, this gallery at the Art of the Brick exhibition features a series of skulls in bright LEGO red, yellow, green and blue.
Another of our favourite sections of the LEGO exhibition showcases famous paintings and art works made out of bricks. These allow the visitor to view familiar masterpieces in a different light.
The critically acclaimed collection that will be on display in Singapore includes original artist sculptures as well as re-imaged versions of some of the world’s most famous artistic masterpieces including Michelangelo’s David, Van Gogh’s Starry Night, and Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. You can also view a different version of Munch’s Scream in Past Masters.
It is no wonder that many people linger at this section of Art of the Brick.
Check out the range of emotions expressed in brick form in the gallery Human Expression.
It is also amazing how bricks can be transformed into a sculpture that looks like it is in motion in Swimmer.
For kids, one of the highlights will be seeing the T-Rex.
Pose pretty in the Pink Room. This is one of the posable spots at the exhibition.
Stay afloat in the Division. This is a thought provoking area where you can make your own interpretation of the many people floating up above the sea of hands below.
There is also interactive LEGO creation area, and an innovative LEGO multimedia collection produced together with award-winning photographer Dean West.
Last but not least, spend some time at the Interactive Play Area and Gift Shop.
Both children and parents can piece together their own brickwork creations out of the multi-coloured bricks. This time, kids can have fun at an interactive LEGO creation area where imaginations can run wild.
The Art of the Brick exhibition has been to over 100 cities in 24 countries abroad, having been visited by over seven million people. There is good reason why it is so popular and has been making its way around the world. Don’t miss the chance to view Art of the Brick in Singapore this time around or you may well end up having to await quite a number of years before you get the chance to view this popular exhibition once again.
