The “Van Gogh Memory” exhibition at Tree O’Clock Cafe is a celebration of art, technology, and the enduring legacy of Vincent van Gogh. Step into the world of Van Gogh: experience his dreams and visions and see the world through his eyes. For the very first time, Phuket hosts the “Van Gogh Memory” exhibition, the island’s first immersive art experience.
Vincent van Gogh left an indelible mark on the world of painting. His life was a tumultuous yet brilliant journey through different places, periods, and emotions, each reflected in his extraordinary artworks.
Born in the Netherlands in 1853, van Gogh began his artistic career painting the simple yet profound landscapes of his homeland. This early period, marked by earthy tones and a deep connection to nature, laid the foundation for his future masterpieces.
In the late 1880s, van Gogh’s restless spirit led him to the vibrant landscapes of southern France. Here, under the dazzling sun, his palette exploded into a whirlwind of colors. The iconic “Starry Night” and “Café Terrace at Night” emerged during this transformative phase, capturing the essence of his newfound inspiration.
Throughout his life, van Gogh grappled with inner demons, seeking solace and purpose through his art. His famous quote, “I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream” encapsulates his relentless pursuit of artistic expression.
Today, you have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the colorful world of this artistic genius in Phuket. The “Van Gogh Memory” exhibition, a first in Phuket, offers a profound immersion into over 3,000 reimagined versions of his works. Using cutting-edge Sensory4™ technology, this multisensory experience allows you to delve into van Gogh’s thoughts, emotions, and the pivotal decade from 1880 to 1890.
