Description

Same city, different temperature. Where NYC Red portrayed New York in red, NYC Grey captures it cold: a black night and, in its middle, a line of white light drawn from one edge to the other of the painting. One thinks of a street viewed from above, straight as only Manhattan knows how to draw them, with its streets cutting it at right angles. No skyline, no monument: the plan of the city is enough to designate it.

Everything is organized around this central axis. White, pearl grey, water green, pale yellow, lavender: the light there is cold, almost mineral, and thickens in the lower third in a wide intersection where grey becomes the true subject of the work. On either side, the transverse streets go horizontally and turn to orange, then to red as they move away, like embers at the edge of the image. The background is a deep black, barely lifted from brown, bottle green, and midnight blue.

Up close, the grid dissolves into the material. Plates, smooth tiles, grids, round pieces, and technical elements compose a tight relief where each grey has its own sheen. Surprises are not lacking: small orange flowers, touches of lime green, a tile printed with "KEEP OUT" lost in the right part, the number 5 at the bottom. As many details as one only discovers by getting closer, and which remind us that each of these pieces has had a first life.

Brick Board Builder assembles each painting by hand, without a predefined scheme. The LEGO® bricks he uses are all from recycled sources: arriving in bulk from all of France, notably thanks to the solidarity association Rejoué, they are cleaned and then sorted one by one before joining the workshop. A straight line held without a plan, with mismatched pieces: this is all the singularity of NYC Grey, which no one could recreate identically.

A unique work, neither printed nor reproduced, numbered and accompanied by its certificate of authenticity.

Presentation

The art of pixel pop.

“I deal with the constraints of brick as others deal with painting."

Gregory, aka BBB, doesn't paint: he builds. Brick by brick, pixel by pixel, he assembles art with patience, precision... and a certain playfulness.

Trained in interior architecture and technical drawing, he diverts LEGO – a universal, almost childlike material – to create a unique, vibrant, unexpected visual language.

His works combine technical rigor, subtle narrative, and nods to pop culture. From afar, a familiar image. Up close, a complex world. What he creates are slow surprises. Each painting reveals itself in two stages: first the obvious, then the strangeness, the detail, the hidden emotion.

It's an art of patience and pixels, a meticulous construction game that thwarts our perception. BBB revisits icons of contemporary visual culture—mythical characters, musical figures, popular heroes—and slips into them his own grammar, made of rhythm, silence, and graphic tension. He doesn't play with LEGO. He plays with complexity. With our gaze. With the pleasure of revealing the unexpected.
