Van Gogh was a great admirer of Japanese art, and his works are still held in special esteem in Japan today. One of his dozen works, depicting bouquets of sunflowers, ended up there. In 1987, a private collector bought it for $40 million; the painting still resides in his collection today.

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.
