LEGO has Starry Night. They have Sunflowers.
But it looks like Lumibricks might be about to stake a claim on what many consider Van Gogh’s finest landscape:
Something very different has quietly landed in the Asian market this week.
The set is a brick-built recreation of Van Gogh’s A Wheatfield with Cypresses. Unlike traditional art mosaics, this isn’t just about recreating the image in bricks. The focus here appears to be on how the artwork is experienced through light.
The Details
Set name: Wheat Field with Cypresses (21001) (Light & Shadow Brick Art Series)
Piece count: 2,632 pieces
Format: Comparable in footprint to LEGO’s larger Art sets, but with layered, three-dimensional texture more in line with Starry Night than flat mosaics.
The standout feature: dual-mode lighting
Lighting has always been central to Lumibricks’ approach, but this set introduces something new. Based on translated launch material, the artwork uses a dual-mode display system designed to alter the mood of the piece entirely.
In Day Mode, warmer lighting highlights the golden wheat fields and emphasises the swirling movement of the sky.
In Night Mode, the lighting shifts cooler, pushing the cypress trees into sharper contrast and creating a more subdued, atmospheric silhouette.
It’s a smart idea. Van Gogh was deeply preoccupied with light and time of day, and a build that physically changes its character depending on lighting conditions feels far more considered than a static display.
Best of all, you won’t be fumbling for a switch behind the frame. The set features a touch sensor built directly into the side of the frame. Just tap the bricks to toggle between Day and Night modes.
How does it compare to LEGO?
LEGO’s Starry Night is rightly regarded as a standout set, but it isn’t without compromises. It’s deep, difficult to wall-mount, and not especially forgiving when it comes to dust or display space.
This Lumibricks piece appears to be framed more like a traditional canvas, which should make it easier to hang and live with. At 2,632 pieces, it’s also notably dense for an art-style set, suggesting a higher level of texture and detail than most brick mosaics manage.
Availability
The set has already released in parts of Asia as of January 2026, with confirmed sightings in China. Based on previous Lumibricks launches, that usually puts a global or Western release a few weeks behind.
With Chinese New Year approaching, stock may take a little longer to move, but this looks like a strong candidate for a February headline release.
