In a 15-meter project made of around 650,000 studs of Lego bricks in 22 shades, Claude Monet's impressionist's inimitable brushstrokes depicting reflection landscapes is reimagined. The work, Entitled Water Lilies #1, will hang on one of one of the walls of the Design Museum gallery in Kensington, west London. On Friday, the inaugural design-focused exhibition opens, and it will run until July 30. Ai Weiwei wrote: 'Toy bricks as the product, with their ability of solidity and potential for deconstruction, reflect the attributes of language in our quickly evolving world culture, in which human consciousness is constantly shifting.'
