red yellow Lego men Los Angeles 2017

Five Lego men on benches in downtown Los Angeles

These Lego figures are a kind of “selfie”. The artist Nathan Sawaya based the sculptures on his own body.

Brookfield Properties sponsors art installations around their investment properties across the U.S.  Nice of them!  And, in this case, fun, too!  They’ve sponsored Nathan Sawaya’s ‘Park People’–figurative sculptures made from Lego® blocks–in the courtyard outside of the Wells Fargo building on Grand near 4th.

On my way to the Central Library to see the new murals I found five figures: four in the main Wells Fargo courtyard and another, the blue man, tucked away behind Nevelson’s black ‘Night Sails” sculpture.

The Blue Lego Man sculpture based on the artist’s own body.
Meditating lego man Los Angeles
Golden Yellow meditating figure in the ‘Park People’ installation.  Behind him, a green man  faces a family taking pictures. The Red man seemed to be drawing the most attention.

Yup! It really is the same Lego you played with as a child!
