That face. You know the one. Wide eyes, hollow cheeks, hands clamped to the head in pure existential dread. Now picture it rendered entirely in LEGO® bricks. That is exactly what builder DeinModell has done with The Scream, a framed tribute to Edvard Munch's most famous painting.

Rather than copying every brushstroke, this design reimagines the artwork as a layered brick mosaic. The swirling orange sky, the flowing blue-green landscape, and that unmistakable screaming figure all come to life through clever part usage and stacked textures. Have you ever noticed how a painting suddenly feels different in three dimensions? Depth changes everything, and bricks bring a whole new texture to a scene that already unsettles the soul.

The model arrives in an elegant frame, ready to hang on a wall or perch on a shelf. It leans toward advanced builders, with rich detailing across every section, though any art lover willing to take their time will find the construction deeply satisfying. Munch first put that howling figure to canvas in 1893, and here it is over a century later, waiting for you to snap it together stud by stud.

So far The Scream has gathered 1,434 supporters on LEGO® Ideas, with the 10,000 goal still ahead. DeinModell pitches it as a bridge between fine art and brick building, a piece that would stand out in any collection of framed brick art.

Fancy a fine-art masterpiece for your wall that you assembled yourself? Cast a vote and help this howling icon reach the finish line. It would certainly give your bookshelf something to scream about.
