This was no ordinary art exhibit with paintings displayed on gallery walls and spectators walking quietly in the gallery space. Created by Grande Experiences, Van Gogh Alive gives visitors the unique opportunity to immerse themselves into Van Gogh’s artistry and truly venture into his world. From start to finish, visitors are surrounded by vibrant colour and music matched to the time period of the art. Van Gogh’s masterpieces come to life, giving visitors the sensation of walking right into his paintings. The paintings are in super-scale and you view artworks from new angles and discover unique perspectives.
Imagine being in a warehouse style building with blackened walls and screens as large as cinemas all around you with multi screens of each painting. Over about 45 minutes the screens change to show the various periods of Van Gogh’s creative life. Some almost appear in animation where the landscape remains static but the clouds move through multiple screens. Photos cannot do it justice but here is a sample.
If it comes to your city, simply go!!!
