TAMPA, Fla. — A traveling exhibit is bringing the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh to life.
It’s called “Van Gogh — The Immersive Experience” and highlights the life, artwork and legacy of the famous artist.
“It is an incredible deep-dive using immersive technologies into the world of Vincent Van Gogh,” said John Zaller, Chief Creative Officer for Van Gogh — The Immersive Experience.
On display in a warehouse space off Dale Mabry Highway stands a monument to one of the world’s most iconic artists. An exhibit showcasing the life and legacy of Vincent Van Gogh.
“We’re seeing objects that are relatable, but objects that have this emotional power to them that connect with us in very moving ways,” said Zaller.
The traveling exhibit has already welcomed millions of visitors worldwide, showcasing Van Gogh’s work in new and unique ways.
“Here, in this wonderful meditative space, you can see those dozens of paintings come to life,” says Zaller. “And it’s a great way to tell the story of Van Gogh’s technique and his approach.”
The exhibit takes visitors on a journey through Van Gogh’s paintings, both mentally and physically, allowing anyone the chance to step through his most famous works.
From The Sunflower Field to The Starry Night.
“People spend hours in here just being enveloped in the works of the artist,” said Zaller.
There is also a virtual reality experience, where visitors can put on a pair of VR goggles, taking a trip through Van Gogh’s world and allowing an even more enchanting journey.
“It really is that voice of Van Gogh, that work of Van Gogh, that brings people in,” Zaller said. “But, then what we find is that those who haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about art are now thinking about art. They start to patronize their museums, they start to study art more and the artist within them awakens.”
Bringing a fresh approach to the world of Van Gogh.
‘Van Gogh — The Immersive Experience’ will be open starting Wednesday, July 23. The exhibit will remain in Tampa through the rest of summer.
