The Art of the Brick


My first visit to ArtScience Museum @ MarinaBaySands was an unforgettable one , thanks to "The Art of the Brick" exhibition.  Many times in newspaper i saw the advertisement of this show but i never showed any interest to it. But when i saw big advertisement board at MarinaBaySands i got little interest and checked what was this show about.
Yellow-Nathan's most famous work
Thanks to a free ticket, i was bit hesitant first then thought anyhow it was free , let me go and check. Thank God! I would have missed a great piece(s) of art. I was surprised to see all the intrinsic sculptures designed and built using LEGO bricks. The sculptor is Nathan Sawaya, his life is an example of how one can make hobby or interest to something profitable ,even as business.
Swimming half - Nathan allows us to imagine the remaining half
Simply amazing to see the transformation of the little bricks to something awesome.The moment i went inside the 4th floor where the exhibition is being held i was asked by photographer to stand before the the expo advertisement and she took some photos of me in various angles.It happens everywhere in Singapore.The museum is also providing guide for group of visitors.
