Sometimes, good art requires patience. You may have a painting like Monet’s composed of thousands of little dots, or you might make Rubik’s cube mosaics. Or you’re Dicken Liu, and have turned a selection of LEGO bars and hinges into a beautiful black panther bust. I cannot imagine how long this must have taken to line everything up! We’ve seen similar builds in more two-dimensional mosaic form, but this is the first I can remember being a free-standing model. There’s all sorts of parts hidden within, including snakes, brooms, laser rifles, fishing rods, handlebars and more. And while I can appreciate the time this design must have taken, am I the only one who kinda wants to crush it to see how it deforms…?
Will it deform or just turn into a pile of plastic parts?
Anyway, if anything, I would much rather feel like kicking it – seeing how it’s shaped the way it is.
P.S. It’s not a bust, it’s just a head… sculpture.
Never thought Rubik’s cube mosaics are art, facile though they are.
