Jan Vormann



Jan Vormann, a 26 year old German artist who has spent the last three years travelling the world fixing crumbling walls and monuments using Lego. He has taken his project from its humble beginnings at an art fair in Rome and brightened up thousands of people's days with his brightly coloured plastic version of Polyfilla. Mr Vormann said: "My favourite work was done in Berlin. I filled in the holes still left by guns and shrapnel from the Second World War. That drew people's attention to the Lego and hopefully they would ask themselves why the Lego was there"
