“It just had this appeal to me because you can create the things you don’t have.” Meet Ekow Nimako, a Ghanaian-Canadian artist who uses black LEGO bricks to build jaw-dropping sculptures. While some of his masterpieces take nearly one-thousand hours to create, he has the ability to prototype a new design in just one day. We tour his home studios where he began creating his breathtaking art and explore some of his custom builds inspired by Black mythology.

    The art is amazing, but “yellow equals white” was an unusual position to take. Ask Asians in America if they believe “yellow equals white.”

    • @mulnaengmyeon

      I thought he was referring to the general yellow color of Lego minifigures. I read that yellow was intended to be neutral/ambiguous, but the hair and accessories reflected a white appearance for a long time. Minifigures with different skin tones weren’t made until early 2000s, and even then there weren’t many deeper skintone minifigs. There were some athletes, then licensed characters, then Lego Friends, and now there are many styles of minifigure hair available. So when he was playing with Lego as a kid, there wasn’t that diversity in the minifigs. He mentions there is still a long way to go, and wishes for “a liberated future for all people.” So I don’t think he was referring to Asian-American when he said yellow is synonymous with white.

    • @swimmerboy172

      November 29, 2023 at 6:46 pm

      Why not? It’s a gimmick that will get you on the wired YouTube channel and cause engagement by ppl asking why he is doing it.

    • @Real_Name_Redacted

      November 29, 2023 at 8:19 pm

      Most artists throughout history usually limited their color palette. Alexander rashanko for example mostly stuck to a limited pallette.

      When you want to stand out with a medium anybody can use, You usually want to stick to a color palette that isn’t being used often

    • @Real_Name_Redacted

      November 29, 2023 at 8:20 pm

      Plus he doesn’t JUST use black.

    Do all of these pieces organically come in black? I’m guessing the creativity and design of these are not considered ‘legal’ by the books? I’m so impressed!

  35. @WeWillAlwaysHaveVALIS

    December 1, 2023 at 6:48 am

    Absolutely hilarious that both this shite art and shite artist is being praised.

    Middle class grifter with a boring and overdone trope.

    I wonder how much he inflates the price to so he can make a profit off the already over inflated price of Lego.

    Also that this is being praised is the funniest thing.

  36. @radhesyamaji

    Love how unafraid he is of integrating technic and system into his sculptures together – I feel like a lot of ‘master’ system builders often limit the majority of their builds to 2×4 bricks lol

    Also love the casual star wars nerdness hahahaha he’s brilliant 😩👌

    When you meet an eccentric you always get that internal question, “is it pretention or serendipity” and this dude seems chill. (Though you do need a ton of money to make builds this big, so he’s obviously well off, but that’s no reason for haterade, he’s talented AF)

  67. @alexhussey1308

    December 2, 2023 at 5:03 pm

    The use of the smooth tiles and the color black both bring an elegance to a medium more associated with an amalgamation of color and chaos. There are lots of things to love about the colorfulness, but I like how his art subverts that association. The artistic style works so well with the themes he works in.

    LEGO minifigures were originally chosen to be yellow in order to promote the idea of racial neutrality, it has nothing to do with The Simpsons. In fact the writer of Simpsons (Matt Groening) only made his characters yellow to have them stand out more and look more cartoonish. And I guess he didn’t think too deep about changing the color of other characters that weren’t white and especially since they were added later, and tbh any other color pops and creates way more contrast than the beige “white” skin tone. Great artist by the way!

    December 5, 2023 at 4:19 pm

    Laughing at someone for using “Legos” instead of “Lego” might be one of the most pretentious things in art and that is saying something

  144. @skister82

    December 5, 2023 at 4:57 pm

    He’s talented but he clearly hates white people.

  145. @OYME13

    December 5, 2023 at 5:20 pm

    Man is amazingly talented, I’m extremely impressed. Unfortunately, everything he does and thinks revolves around his skin color.

  146. @dmed5480

    December 5, 2023 at 6:34 pm

    It’ll be a true feat if they were all Brown pieces

  147. @auneakeffect

    December 5, 2023 at 7:16 pm

    when can we expect your special on the artist that makes only caucasian themed pieces of art?

    His arrogance is offputting….

  162. @TheMethodicalJackHorse

    December 6, 2023 at 4:19 pm

    bro, imagine if he made his sculptures with brown or dark red pieces

  163. @ypcomchic

    December 6, 2023 at 4:53 pm

    Does he glue them together when he’s done? It looks like he puts a finish on them too to make them shiny. Awesome stuff!!

    Now there are no black bricks anymore in the world.

  169. @Fanaro

    December 6, 2023 at 7:31 pm

    Why is yellow equal to white? I’ve always thought it was their neutral version of a color.

    December 7, 2023 at 5:25 pm

    I think he should branch out into color. When I think African art I certainly do not think exclusively black. The black element is there, and prominent, but there is also yellows and oranges and often all kinds of colors. Colors that accentuate the black. But I wont lie, the all black, especially when its got a shine, looks really good.

    Hi guys, just found a strange Italian independent game (R1sikoChess) that fuses Chess, Risk, Monopoly, plus a lot of wargame and political elements in a hypnotic/dramatic pre-apocalyptic background. Graphics may not be stellar, but if you’re looking for something VERY distinct and, above all, with a truly deep and complex playability so take a look on google
