Jonathan Lopes is a renowned artist and creative who works within the medium of LEGO bricks. He focuses on a variety of genres including urban landscapes, conceptual art, and life-sized sculptures and is well known for his realistic and gritty urban scenes.

Selections of Lopes’ work are permanently placed at The Morris Museum in Morristown, New Jersey as well as corporate installations across the country. Candlewick Press, in Somerville, Massachusetts has no less than four original pieces designed and assembled by Lopes. Other well know works include a 12 foot long replica of New York City’s Manhattan Bridge and also an 8 foot tall replica of New York City’s Woolworth Building in addition to a replica of Frank Lloyd Wrights Fallingwater – complete with a pump and running water.
