Cityscape


It took a few months to get used to the new building material. Somehow too much is like not enough. We were overwhelmed by overabundance. But it's over now. We overcame this block but using a classic art school exercise. We secretly obligated ourselves to create pieces using all the available material.

The subject of choice is without hesitation... the city. Here it is in the morning light.

New Building Materials


We received a big 250-piece Mega Bloks tub from Santa this christmas. Let's build!

Collectif PM

Having learned about the discovery of high levels of lead in Mega Bloks, we decided to create a monument in commemoration for all the kids who suffered from lead poisoning by playing with yellow bricks. Here's the result.

Artsite en résidence - Greg

Greg made this tower after Godzilla the destroyer went to bed. It only postponed it's destruction until the next morning.

Final dimensions: 6 feet.

Artiste en résidence - Mila

Mila was experimenting with gravity and leaning towers in this piece. It inspires us all.

Notice the central tower, as color scheme intensifies from yellow to red it underlines the tension of the gravitational pull. The final roof-like block explodes into the unequivocal pressure of living at 9.8 meters per second.

A masterpiece!

Reliquaire

African Ngulu Reliquary guarding the sofa where rests the remains of his dead master.

In these modern days where bone guards can be made of plastic blocks, refusal of payment is a rare event.. Sacred Africa is free and there is a nice reading room with four couches hidden at the very end.

Fragility 1 and 2



Fragile is the blok. The Destructor is constantly watching, crawling, grabbing, dragging down to the form of the mass producer. Living entropy to the fullest.

Goodbye Saddam

World events again at the center of his creation. A simple yet effective comment on the efficiency of traditional methods.

Salut Soleil


Salut Soleil, a morning piece.

Monochromatic Triptych



Monochromatic Triptych is the expression of purity through the extensive color palette of the building bloks. This piece screams out I want Trendy Colors! Again, the artist pushes the medium to the limits of expression by isolating the components of matter itself.

After the Storm

We know from past interviews and the artist's following that the low number of building pieces (known in the milieu as bloks block) has always been a unclassifiable variable the artist has had to work with. Sometimes his rage would not be contained by his art and he would lose touch for weeks at a time. The best outcome was his refined technique, widely copied, of hollow building to suggest massive forms. Here the artist starts on a quest greater than the available material and he is stopped in full momentum by the eternal no more pieces. Silence follows. Contemplate.
