Capt. Kirk Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Because of my profession I'm daily in contact with art in it's different ways (drawings, 3D, film, paintings, ect). But what I like the most is art with a twist. Especially if it are 2 opposite subject that are combined or if it's absurt. Lego is one of those subject that artist use. And some good stuff is around. So share your findings with us. But please let it be of somekind of quality ! One of the few Lego artist on the globe is Nathan Sawaya. But I think we all know him and done need a introduction. Then there is also Jan Vormann who also use Lego in his work. We best know him from the Giant Lego MiniFig on the beach. In one of his latest project he filled in all the cracks in the walls with painstakingly clicked-together patches made from Lego’s. Very cool IMO! Gives off the vibe that the entire city buildings are fabricated from Lego’s and their rustic outer layers of mud bricks are breaking off exposing the fun beneath! Artist like Balakov re-create famous photos in Lego form. Classic stuff and basic knowledge for a Lego fan IMO. You can see them all here and here Other artist imitate Fine Art and some do it well. The remake of Edward Hopper’s “Nighthawks” (by udronotto). The remake of Rembrandt's "The Anatomy Lecture of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp" (by ?) The remake of René Magritte's "Le fils de l'homme" (by Balakov) And others imitate famous movie posters and redo it with Lego characters. I give you just a few or better said the ones I like and best match the original IMO. Some 2D artist combined their art with Lego (by ?) Some 3D artist artist combined their art with Lego. - Anatomy Of A Lego Minifig (by jason Freeny aka Moist Production). One of the best designes IMO. - Life-size LEGO man out of cardboard and hot glue. It is complete with rotating and removable body parts (by ?). Stunning advertisements by different advertising agency. - By McCann (Portugal) for the Campaign Against the Cholesterol - By Blattner Brunner for S.W. Randall Toys & Gifts. - By Ogilvy & Mather (Santiago) for TLC - By E=Y&R (Chili) for TLC - By Jung von Matt/Alster (Germany) for TLC - By Jung von Matt (Germany) for TLC - By Miami ad School (Europe) for TLC - By Fabrika DDB (?) for TLC - By J Walter Thompson Publicade (Portugal) for TLC - By DRAFTFCB Johannesburg (South Africa) for TLC - By Saatchi & Saatchi (Singapore) for TLC Some fake Lego ads or call it controversial advertising or black pages... but we can't turn back the time and must face them. But please don't start a game from good or bad. That's not the idea behind this thread. - By ???

Wout Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) The remake of Rembrandt's "The Anatomy Lecture of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp" (by ?) By Barbara Wertheim/Mc Bricker from Lowlug She's also made "the milkmaid" From Vermeer. I'm afraid her brickshelf is down, because I couldn't used a link earlier worked.
