{"title":"BBB - Brick Board Builder","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGrégory, aka BBB — Brick Board Builder — is a French artist who does not paint: he builds. Trained in interior architecture and design, he has made the LEGO® brick a fully fledged studio material, transforming a universal, almost childlike object into his own visual language: pop pixel art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHis pictures reveal themselves in two stages. From a distance, a familiar image emerges — a cinema icon, a musical figure, a hero of popular culture, a monument. Up close, the image breaks down into a relief of colors, shadows, and hidden details that challenge perception. It is an art of patience and observation, in which the constraints of the module drive the composition: “Randomness becomes precision.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach work is assembled by hand, brick by brick, without a predefined plan. This refusal to follow a blueprint gives every piece its own story and identity: none can be reproduced, and none is a print. The bricks, all sourced through reuse, arrive in bulk from across France through resale networks and the solidarity-based reuse organization Rejoué. They are cleaned and then sorted one by one before reaching the studio — an approach in which the circular economy is not an added selling point but the very condition of the work: it is better to see these bricks create emotion than end up in the oceans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBBB’s works are numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. They are exhibited in galleries — Origine Home in Le Touquet, Galerie 337 in Geneva and Megève, La Street Galerie, and Artsper — and created to order for collectors, private individuals, and companies, based on an image, a theme, or a visual identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBBB does not play with LEGO®.

We recognize \u003cem\u003eThe Promenade\u003c\/em\u003e, the Woman with a Parasol painted by Claude Monet in 1875, one of the most famous images of Impressionism. Brick Board Builder does not reconstruct it: it leaves it in place and builds on top of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe bricks take over three elements. First, the parasol, built in dark greens and grays, thick and casting a very real shadow over the painting. Then the clouds: clusters of aqua green, lavender, pale pink, and sky blue floating across the sky and spilling onto the dress. Finally, the grass at the very bottom, dense and bushy, in olive, anise green, sand, and gray. Between these masses, the painting remains visible: the woman’s veiled face, the child’s silhouette, patches of sky. What has not been built was chosen with as much care as the rest, and the two faces are left to Monet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe idea is more fitting than it may seem. The Impressionist brushstroke consists of patches of color placed side by side, which the eye blends from a distance. The brick does exactly the same thing. A century and a half apart, the painter and the builder share the same principle: from afar, an image; up close, a material. Here, quite simply, the material comes out of the painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUp close, fantasy takes over again. Small white clouds made from molded pieces mingle with the real ones. A pale blue dolphin swims in the middle of the sky. Ladders connect the clouds to one another, a chain hangs in the grass, and an anise-green spring coils around the foot of the bank. Details that have no place in a Monet, yet settle into it without disturbing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMonet painted quickly, outdoors, to capture a moment. \u003ca title=\"Brick Board Builder\" href=\"https:\/\/popart-gallery.fr\/collections\/bbb-brick-board-builder-artiste-lego\"\u003eBrick Board Builder\u003c\/a\u003e builds slowly, by hand, without a predefined plan, using reused LEGO® bricks that arrived loose from all over France, notably through the nonprofit Rejoué, and were then cleaned and sorted one by one.
