From the instantly-recognizable, The Starry Night, Sunflowers and Cafe Terrace at Night to the lesser-known Almond Blossoms and Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, over 300 of Van Gogh’s paintings will be freed from their frames and come to life in Surrey for Beyond Van Gogh, an immersive exhibit opening February 1, 2023.
Guests will feel as if they have stepped directly into a Van Gogh painting as the show incorporates both still and moving art. Masterpieces come alive, appear and disappear, and flow across multiple surfaces. Using the artist’s own dreams, thoughts and words to drive the experience as a narrative, guests move along huge projection-swathed walls wrapped in light and colour that swirls and dances as it refocuses on the flowers, cafes and landscapes of his famous artworks.
Created by French-Canadian creative director Mathieu St-Arnaud and his team at Montreal’s Normal Studio, Beyond Van Gogh is using cutting-edge multi-dimensional projections and has taken on the challenge of breathing new life into Van Gogh’s vast body of work.
