It took many bricks to create the towers and skyscrapers of NYC—even the LEGO intrepretation of Gotham.
Artist Jonathan Lopes is set to release a new book titled New York City Brick by Brick, which focuses on the mini masterpieces he creates using NYC as his muse and LEGOs as his medium.
“While living in New York City for 25 years, I was so inspired by its architecture that I began replicating large scale icons with LEGO bricks," he said in a statement. "The exhibition at City Point will include highlights of my art including the Brooklyn Bridge, which is 17 feet long, Grand Central Terminal, which is made of 62,500 LEGO pieces and The Woolworth Building which stands just under 8 feet tall, among about 25 other works.”
The book signing and exhibit grand opening will take place at City Point 445 Albee Square West from noon–3pm on May 11. It'll then run for several days after the signing. All of the budding engineers in your family need to check it out! Visit City Point online to learn more. All ages.
