Two new exhibits, The Art of the Brick, and Became, are being shown at the Bedford Gallery in downtown Walnut Creek through December 20th.
From the exhibit website:
To kick off the Bedford’s 2015-16 exhibition season, themed Art + Play, the gallery will host The Art of the Brick® , an exhibition featuring large-scale sculptures constructed out of iconic LEGO® bricks. New York artist Nathan Sawaya creates awe-inspiring works out of this unlikely material, painstakingly crafting beautiful, playful pieces, and transforming the popular toy into something new.
In addition to Sawaya’s sculptures, the Bedford will exhibit IN PIECES, a collaboration between Sawaya and photographer Dean West, who have created a series of large-scale tableau compositions incorporating Sawaya’s LEGO sculptures into West’s photographs.
In the Alcove Gallery: Became by Jud Bergeron
The Bedford will present an ancillary exhibition of sculpture by San Francisco artist Jud Bergeron titled Became. His playful, colorful toy-like pieces reflect on the experience of becoming a parent.
