What Artist's Work Would You Like to see as Lego???
Richard
Time for a twist on the "film as Lego" thread,
Okay, we've now had virtually every fantasy/most sci-fi. How about
surrealist artists??
Salvador Dali
Technic axles attached to the feet of the Castle horses, a la "The
Temptation of St Anthony," (did they ever do elephants in the castle
theme??). For some of the more warped characters, stick a few bricks,
mini-figs and other strange pieces and microwave in short bursts!
Hieronymous Bosch (not technically Surrealist, but considered by many to be
the father)
"The Garden of Earthly Delights" Doesn't really need explaining, everyone
knows this wheter they think they do or not!! If you were to include the
whole tryptich (spelling?) you would have a fair number of animals,
including elephants useful for Dali, above. The burning city for the
background would be easy enough, take all of your Town Jr. sets, a can of
petrol, and presto!! Some wonderfully odd mini-figs for the foreground.
Other Boschian "delights":"Paradise and Hell," "Temptation of St Anthony"
(especially the swan boat and fish boat),"The Last Judgement".
Pieter Bruegel The Elder
"The Triumph of Death" and "The Tower of Babel"
Damien Hurst (not surrealist, but certainly odd)
"Timmy in formaldehyde"

Mapplethorp? OK, if I use white, light grey, dark grey and black. And a lot
of them. Stack em 20 feet tall, 12 feet wide, and you step back quite a ways
and squint.....I could maybe do Calla Lilies.

Hmm . . . there's a challenge, how to do line art figures in Lego . . .
How about an Andre Serrano set? I've already made a Lego
skeleton-on-a-crucifix. Now all I have to do is drink a lot and I should
be able to complete that set in few minutes . . .

Surrealists? Pah! I'd like to see 'em try the Impressionists! or
Abstract Expressionism (Pollock, anyone?).Seriously, though, I would
like to see the work of Wayne D. Barlowe done in Lego, though that might
ruin it a bit (don't be surprised if you don't know who this is). Or
Jacek Yerka.

How about "Barlowe's Guide to Minifigs," with a fold-out page showing a
comparison of scale between minifigs, Fabuland figs, Technic figs, Belville,
Scala, etc.?

Cool new, and really strange, slope bricks.

Yeah, and imagine all the "impossible object" bricks:)
