Ekow Nimako is a talented artist from Toronto who builds elaborate and impressive sculptures using only black LEGO bricks. His works include lifelike figures, dystopian worlds, and futuristic landscapes.

Nimako has been getting crafty with LEGOs since childhood, so exploring the artistic side of the plastic bricks came naturally to him. After getting a formal art education and gaining experience in multidisciplinary art, Nimako developed a unique style that is now recognizable worldwide.

“My art practice developed when I was four years old, as I constantly told myself I want to do this (play with LEGO) forever,” said the artist in a recent interview.

While Nimako used colorful LEGO bricks at the beginning, he has been working solely with black LEGOs in recent years. According to him, this way, he can “mute” the toy aspect of the LEGO and present it as an art medium.

Nimako’s sculptures can be made out of hundreds of thousands of LEGO bricks and can take anywhere from 50 hours to 1000 hours to make.

Aside from being a recognized artist, Nimako is also an accomplished author. In 2017, he published the book “Beasts from Bricks”, which serves as a guide for building animals using Legos.

Check out more of Nimako’s works below.

Berlin-based artist Jan Vormann has used thousands of LEGO bricks to patch crumbling holes in architectural structures around the globe.

He was dubbed as the Lego Man, as his Dispatchwork project can be seen in many countries. He recently participated in the 17th iteration of Nuart Festival. He describes his project as “a forum to further develop, piece by piece, a global game together”, one that encourages citizens to take back public space and leave their mark in a playful way…”as long as you don’t mind when the structures slowly ‘dissolve’ or ‘disappear’ back into children’s toyboxes,” he told Juxtapoz.

Vormann encourages others to join him in his playful installations to cities around the world. Check out his latest creative additions below.

LE PROPOS Les Lieux infinis sont des lieux pionniers qui explorent et expérimentent des processus collectifs pour habiter le monde et construire des communs. Des lieux ouverts, possibles, non-finis, qui instaurent des espaces de liberté où se cherchent des alternatives. Des lieux difficiles à définir car leur caractère principal est l’ouverture sur l’imprévu pour construire sans fin le possible à venir. Confrontés aux défis immenses de notre époque où les transitions écologiques peinent face à la domination de l’économie marchande, aux replis identitaires et à l’autoritarisme, il est urgent d’espérer. De s’inspirer d’expériences parfois éphémères mais concrètes et solidaires.

For a long time now, Lego bricks are not just reserved for kids. Adults like to play with them as well, and we are often surprised how people can get creative with Lego.

Today we want to show you some clever creations by Asawin Tejasakulsin, who devised scenarios in which Lego bricks are part of everyday life. His creations are summed up in two series; “Imagine” and “Build the Future”.

In “Imagine”, Lego bricks bring storybook animals to life while “Build the Future” sees kids assembling suits for their dream jobs using Lego. Check out some of these inspiring creations below.
