Jan van EyckMan in a Red Turba

year of creation: 1433
type: oil on board
size: 25,5x19 cm
place: National Gallery, London

A dispassionate gaze fixed on the viewer, an exotic red turban, and an earring in the ear, all in the spirit of Dutch realism. According to some scholars, The Man in the Red Turban is a self-portrait by van Eyck, and this is supposedly proven by the fact that no busy hands are visible in the painting, also indicated by this effect of making eye contact with the viewer, resulting from the painter's work with a mirror. There is, however, another theory that the artist is said to have depicted Count de Berlaimont in the portrait. Next to the painter's signature, the painting bears van Eyck's legendary motto: "As I can".

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.
