‘Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience’ to debut at Nexus Elante on August 2

Chandigarh, July 24

Considered to be one of the most influential figures in the history of western art, Dutch Post-Impressionist master Vincent van Gogh is also a popular choice for modern, immersive exhibitions where technology meets art.

The Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience will kick off on August 2 at Nexus Elante Mall. 

While his 2,100 artworks are scattered around the world in museums and private collections, immersive experiences that turn the walls and floors of an exhibition space into a kind of technicolour van Gogh dream world have popped up around the world from New York to New Delhi, and heads to Chandigarh for the first time. 

Expressing his excitement on bringing the experience to Chandigarh, the official curator and brand ambassador for the exhibit Nikhil Chinapa said, “Immersive experiences like The Real Van Gogh Immersive have been a game-changer and trendsetter for the Indian art scene, igniting a renewed passion for art appreciation and consumption. I’m so pleased we could bring this to Chandigarh, a city that has design interwoven so tightly in its identity.”

The Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience brings out the colours and emotions of the Dutch master’s paintings via an unparalleled visual spectacle, boasting India’s first 22K lumen projection and largest screens, and a specially-created music score by Mitch de Klein that breathes new life into van Gogh’s timeless masterpieces. The paintings for The Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience were curated and animated by visual artists Hemali Vadalia and Naveen Boktapa of Motionvan Studios, with inputs by co-curator Jay Punjabi.
