Showing at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, the exhibition features Sawaya’s interpretations on the characters, vehicles, environments and themes found in DC Comics.
Using over one million LEGO© bricks, Sawaya has created more than 120 large-scale sculptures of the most famous superheroes and super-villains – from Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, to The Joker and Harley Quinn.
NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres said “We are delighted the exhibition has been extended due to popular demand, having already sold over 110,000 tickets. It was a real coup for Sydney to secure the world premiere of The Art of the Brick: DC Comics and I encourage everyone to see this world class exhibition before it closes.”
Artist Nathan Sawaya said, “The Powerhouse Museum must have super-powers because the success of the show has exceeded my wildest expectations. Thank you to the Australian audiences who have embraced this exhibition. We are thrilled that we have been able to extend the season in Sydney.”
Supported by the NSW Government, through its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW, The Art of Brick DC Comics brings together Nathan Sawaya with Warner Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment, to create the world’s largest collection of DC Comics-inspired LEGO® artwork.
