Kid's unconventional and 'genius' Lego creation goes viral
It's not just Ai Weiwei who's using Lego to create avant-garde art.
This 12-year-old's submission to a "Kid Creations" Lego display has some parallels to French artist Marcel Duchamp, who challenged the conventional definition of art when he submitted a urinal to an exhibition in 1917.

Created by "Riley," it's a single, yellow brick which he's described as a worm. And the internet loves it.

Hilarious or as ridiculous as it seems, people think young Riley here has a bright future.

There's a great future in marketing waiting for you, Riley!

I'll be looking for Riley's first exhibition in the Tate in a few years. I've known conceptual artists who didn't have half his vision.

Clean lines. Bright color. Very minimalist. 10/10 would build again.

And like any artist ahead of their time, there's bound to be an imitator lurking in the wings. Yes, it's a fidget spinner.
Let me show you what a real genius is, Joel. pic.twitter.com/QenTcNKNeL
