South Bank to host world’s largest LEGO exhibition inspired by Batman, Superman and more.
The Art of the Brick: DC Super Heroes will arrive in London from March, featuring more than 120 works of art, created with over two million LEGO bricks.
Artist Nathan Sawaya has created the world’s largest LEGO exhibition inspired by characters including Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, working with Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment.
The contemporary art exhibition will be shown in an exclusively built space on London’s South Bank and will open on March 1.
Nathan has interpreted the characters, vehicles, environments and themes found throughout DC Super Heroes mythology, including transformation and reinvention, strength and weakness, as well as good versus evil.
Over 120 original pieces are all created from LEGO bricks and include a life-size Batmobile (built from half a million standard pieces).
Nathan previously enjoyed success with The Art of the Brick exhibition in 2014.
“We are incredibly excited to continue our partnership with Nathan on this unique and fascinating global touring exhibition, that combines DC icons with LEGO, in an immersive entertainment experience,” said Peter van Roden, svp, global themed entertainment, Warner Bros. Consumer Products.
“Whether you’re a comic fan, a LEGO fan, or an art fan, there is something for everyone in this signature exhibition.”
Nathan added: “Just like Superman, we all have our own story. This art collection is based on the elements of the journey of a super hero, including the moment in which we are all called to the adventure.
“This new collection of artwork is a dream come true for me. It is an honour to re-imagine these seminal characters and stories in a new way, through my medium of choice.”
