Can Lego be Art?
A few years ago The Guardian question can Lego be art (see article) and I wanted to show it can, by showing off several different Lego artists, some who use the bricks and others who use the visual concept of Lego to create cool stuff using wood or metal. Artists who draw or paint Lego.
Do you think Lego can be art?
