About Vincent Van Gogh
Over 100 years after his death, Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853-1890) remains one of the most famous artists of all time. After his death, his works sold for record-breaking sums at art auctions and were featured at sold-out exhibitions around the world. Like many posthumously famous artists, his innovative painting style was not accepted by the art-buying public while he was alive.
Van Gogh painted in the Dutch post-impressionist style. The distinctive style of his paintings are some of the most recognizable art anywhere in the world. His interpretations are immediately recognizable by his use of intense color, distortion of shapes, and thick, frenzied brushstrokes. His works include landscapes that seem to move, as well as contemplative portraits and still life compositions.
He is also famous as a tormented man who cut off his ear. He spent some time in a mental hospital at Saint-Remy-de-Provence in the south of France. Nevertheless, he remained a prolific artist throughout his short career. He did from a gunshot wound at the age of 37. It is unclear whether this was an accident or self-inflicted.
Whatever his personal demons, Van Gogh’s works revolutionized artistic practices of the time and influenced the style of generations of artists who followed him.
Van Gogh’s extraordinary sense of color and boldness of his technique have left us with masterpieces to be enjoyed more than a century after his death.

Using his dreams, his thoughts, and his words to drive the experience as a narrative, you walk along projection-swathed walls wrapped in light, color, and shapes that swirl, dance, and refocus into the flowers, cafes, and landscapes of Van Gogh’s paintings. His masterpieces, now freed from frames, come alive, appear and disappear, and flow across multi-surfaces—the minutia of the details engulfing your senses.
Through Van Gogh’s words set to a symphonic score, you may come to a new appreciation of this tortured artist’s stunning works.
