Speed Review: The Art of the Brick at the Old Truman Brewery

Speedy overviews and reviews of what's on in London by our editor, Paul Raven THE ART OF THE BRICK 26 September 2014 "Really enjoyed this exhibition filled with sculptures and installations all made out of Lego bricks. Very well laid out and presented, with lots of thoughtful, insightful and interesting captions and narrative to explain each piece. Nathan Sawaya’s pieces themselves are INCREDIBLE, offering up a fantastic range of different styles, from playful and pastiche to hugely creative and inspiring pieces that are works of art in their own right. Also loved the Lego playroom at the end – an important addition as a lot of children will be brought to this show. To that end, the only thing I thought was slightly missing was more of a sense of humour and fun, at the wonder of these Lego creations. But overall a great exhibition."
