Lolli-POP

A while back, I posted about designer lollipops; brand logos shaped into actual edible candy.

These lollipops are the latest conceptual still life project by Italian born photographer Massimo Gammacurta. Each piece is a real Lollipop sculpture that is handcrafted by Massimo Gammacurta with real hard ball candy. His lollies are edible icons.

Now, the photographer's lollies are presented in a new book.

Massimo Gammacurta and Visionairs Gallery present: Lolli-POP, the lollipops show.

Sawaya quit his job as a corporate lawyer back in 2001 to pursue his childhood fascination with the ubiquitous building blocks, transforming them into an artistic medium.

He has used LEGO's shapes and bright colors to develop a range of sculptures including pop culture icons, the human form, planets.He's even created a life-sized self-portrait, expressing the limitless possibilities of this medium.
