“Munch used the bright colors to convey both angst and emotion. By expressing his own alienation in the painting, Munch became known as one of the first Expressionist painters. I focused on the figure when creating the brick replica version of this piece I wanted to get the curve of his body correct, as it is such a recognisable image. I included small shallow holes for the nostrils and eyeballs since the original figure’s eyes and nostrils are subtle. The colors of the background were brightly conveyed with the vivid colors of the bricks.”
