The colourful pieces include depictions of Walter White from hit TV show Breaking Bad and drug-fuelled gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.
US artist Andy Bauch used thousands of blocks to make the pieces, which are mounted on the wall like a painted canvas.
The 32-year-old said: “I first got into LEGO as a kid like most of us, but my real obsession didn't begin until 2010, when I started making art with them.
“I find they are the perfect medium for me because they are so innately familiar to most of us that we know their tactile sensation by heart.
"But seeing them used in bulk to depict something totally unrelated to toys or childhood contrasts our expectations.
"It encourages my audience to explore the works from many angles and distances.”
The Los Angeles-based artist has also used LEGO bricks to recreate famous artworks - such as Roy Lichtenstein’s The Kiss and a Mondrian composition.
The artist's biggest piece, the Ringmaster, is made-up of 13,824 bricks and is 46ins high and 30ins wide.
The pieces were made between September 2013 and October this year.
