Previously the subject of a documentary for the PBS Off Book Series, Kenney has created a new exhibition titled 'Nature Connects' that expands on his work that recreates stunning natural beauty. Currently on tour throughout North America until 2019, the 'Nature Connects' exhibit features deer and doe, a fox, a butterfly, a snake and a beautiful sculpture of a [hummingbird feeding on a flower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-botanicals-sets) that is installed on the surface of a pond. While LEGO enthusiasts have long made a habit of creating colorful brick representations of everything from seminal magazine covers to fan favorite fast food chains, this definitely raises the artistic standard. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Nature-inspired LEGO Sculptures:** Opportunity for artists to create stunning sculptures using LEGO blocks and nature as a source of inspiration. - **Lego-based Art Installations:** Increasing demand for unique and creative art installations using LEGO blocks as a medium. - **Sustainable LEGO Art:** Growing trend towards using eco-friendly materials to create LEGO art that reflects environmental themes. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Sculpture:** Art and sculpture industry can explore LEGO blocks to build large-scale sculptures reflecting nature and wildlife. - **Tourism and Events:** Tourism industry can feature LEGO-based art installations as part of nature-themed exhibitions and events. - **Education and Learning:** Education industry can utilize LEGO blocks to promote environmental awareness and encourage creativity in young minds. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Building Block Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-of-the-brick.md) - [Floral Building Block Workshops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botanicals-creativity-workshop.md) - [Vibrant Bird-Inspired Artful Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macar-parrot.md) - [Life-Sized Puzzled Insect Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-collection.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Legos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyns-architectural-history.md) - [Iconic Artist Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-bob-ross.md) - [Artist-Inspired Flower Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belgiandesigner.md) - [Museum-Replicating Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-history-museum-set.md) - [Botanical Building Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-orchid.md)
