René MagritteSon of Man

year of creation: 1964
type: oil on canvas
size: 116x89 cm
place: Private collection

In 'Son of Man', Magritte portrayed himself, although a green apple appears in the painting in place of his face. The motif of a veiled face runs through his work, which is supposed to be the aftermath of his mother's suicide: when her body was fished out of the river, the woman's face - like a shroud - was shrouded by a nightgown. "Son of Man" has been referenced in popular culture, for example on the back cover of Pink Floyd's album Wish You Were Here, which is decorated with a photograph inspired by the painting by Storm Thorgenson. The 1999 film 'The Thomas Crown Affair' is also set around the painting.

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.
