At the Pol’and’Rock Festival in Czaplinek, Klimas Wkręt-met has created the largest painting in Poland made of screws, together with the participants of one of the biggest music events in the country.
Back in April, the manufacturer also surprised with a splendid opening of the exhibition ‘Screwed Art’, during which it presented twelve paintings, also made of screws. By using different lengths of screws the paintings become spatial and three dimensional. The play of light on the heads makes these spaces come alive and the very interpretations of classic works of world and Polish painting, of which there are already more than twenty in the author’s KLIMAS art gallery, can be rediscovered.
At the Pol’and’Rock Festival the brand went a step further and in the same unorthodox technique decided to make the largest screw mosaic in the country, involving thousands of people in the effort. The record breaking painting made of KMWHT branded woodscrews is 16m2,depicting eight characteristic buildings from around the world, including the Leaning Tower of Pisa, London’s Big Ben, the Syndey Opera House and India’s Taj Mahal, among others, against a colourful background.
Everything went according to plan and the brand celebrated the successful completion of the project with festival attendees. The last ten screws were screwed in to the accompaniment of a countdown, applause rang out and glittering confetti was sprinkled. There was much to celebrate, as all indications are that the Klimas brand set a Polish record in these unusual festival circumstances.
