Big Easel, Steel art structure in Emerald, Australia

The Big Easel stands 25 meters tall, featuring a 7 by 10 meter reproduction of Van Gogh's Sunflowers painting on a three-legged steel frame.

Canadian artist Cameron Cross created this monumental installation in 1999 as part of the global Van Gogh Project, celebrating locations connected to sunflower cultivation.

The structure represents the fourth version of Van Gogh's Sunflowers series, matching the painting displayed at the National Gallery in London.

Located at the intersection of Dundas Street and Capricorn Highway in Discovery Park, the easel weighs 17,000 kilograms and rests on 10-meter deep foundations.

Twenty-four sheets of plywood were combined to create the canvas, which received special coating treatments before the application of high-performance paint.
