The sculpture of Andrew Lewicki is playful and transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Ordinary cinderblocks are replaced with giant concrete lego blocks. An ordinary manhole cover becomes a delicious, iconic cookie.
…his Walnut Skate Ramp and Gold-Plated Skate Rail (both 2007), are ready for skateboarders to jump off or slide along, but instead of plywood and steel they are finely crafted from high-end materials. The burnished wood and polished gold are not so much bling as a utopian prospect: in a perfect world, perhaps we’d have 14-carat rails for all kids to grind on, and dovetailed joinery to practice their tailslides!
