Built Over Time

St. Louis Artists’ Guild - 2025

Built Over Time presents a new body of work alongside a reflection on the decade-long evolution of Henry Moyerman’s artistic practice. The exhibition pairs large-format photographs with the original LEGO sculptures they depict, continuing Moyerman’s journey into perspective, scale, and transformation. What began as a broad exploration, through figurative forms, mosaics, minimalist structures, abstract landscapes, and macro photography, has gradually developed into a refined visual language, defined by repetition, monochromatic restraint, and spatial ambiguity.

Today, Moyerman constructs small-scale sculptures from LEGO bricks and photographs them with meticulous precision to create images that evoke monumental architecture. These works subvert expectations of scale and material, prompting viewers to ask: Is it a sculpture, a building, a photograph, or something else entirely? Built Over Time emerges from years of iterative experimentation. The resulting images strike a balance between restraint and awe, inviting viewers to reconsider their perception of space, form, and perspective.
