Monet's painting and his perception of light appeared to be influenced by circumstances that seemed unfavourable to the 21-year-old precocious artist. In 1861, the painter was drafted into the army and went on a mission to Algiers. He contracted typhoid fever there but always stressed that the African light taught him a different view of the surrounding reality. Half a century later, Monet's perception of colours was altered by another illness, this time physical - cataracts made the painter see the world in tones saturated with yellow and red.

Three-dimensional depth of image

Screw Art is made up of thousands of screws which, screwed close together into a fir board but at different depths, create an extraordinary three-dimensional sculptural relief. Each of the 70,000 screw heads becomes a tiny steel canvas for the artists. The multitude of colours, clever design, fascinating chiaroscuro, and masterful precision give the works, inspired by the works of the great masters, a new dimension. Industrial screws turn out to be a graceful material in the hands of the young talents, and the steel rawness is transformed into delicate paintings.
