CHICAGO (WLS) -- Art created by teenagers with Down syndrome will be featured at a Chicago art gallery this weekend.

The group of young artists put their spin on masterpieces like Wassily Kandinsky's circles, Jackson Pollock's drip paintings, Edvard Munch's "The Scream," and Henri Mattisse's cut-outs. They even reimagined Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night" over the Chicago skyline.
