Beyond Van Gogh the Immersive Experience

Earlier this month we were invited to preview Beyond Van Gogh the Immersive Experience.  The traveling exhibit uses modern technology to bring to life the works on Vincent Van Gogh in an impressive larger-than-life way.  The traveling exhibit will be in Jacksonville from September 16th until November 27th.

Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who grew to become one of the most famous and influential artists in the art world.  Unfortunately, he would never live to see his rise to fame.  During his lifetime, it is estimated that he sold only one or two paintings.  Over a span of 10 years, he created 860 oil paintings and about 1,200 other works of art.  Most of these were done during the last two years of his life.

A majority of his works were landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits.  His early work centered around depictions of peasant laborers and used dark colors.  It wasn’t until later that he began using bright, vibrant colors to accompany his unique, dramatic brush strokes.

Van Gogh struggled with severe depression and suffered from psychotic episodes and delusions.  He struggled financially and was financially supported by his brother.  He channeled many of his frustrations with his financial instability and metal health into his works.  Van Gogh died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1890.  

Beyond Van Gogh The Immersive Experience

Beyond Van Gogh the Immersive Experience uses cutting-edge technology to bring over 300 of Van Gogh’s works to life.  The Beyond Van Gogh the Immersive Experience covers over 30,000 square feet and is the largest immersive experience in the country.  Van Gogh’s masterpieces come alive, appear and disappear, and dance across the walls and floors creating the feeling that the viewer has stepped inside the art work.  The show lasts about 30 minutes and is presented alongside a beautiful soundtrack making it a multi-sensory experience.  

Seating within the space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Many viewers choose to simply stand or even find a quiet space on the floor to fully immerse themselves into the experience.
