Vincent Van Gogh is a classic case of posthumous fame. A tortured artist, he struggled with poverty and psychosis as his painting skills evolved through the art movements in Europe. With the passage of time, his mind turned bleak while his canvasses emerged brighter, bolder, and with more dramatized brushstrokes.  With low commercial success, he sold only one painting in his lifetime and is referred to as the “misunderstood genius”. Van Gogh ended his miseries with a bullet in his chest but his luminous works continue to glow and light up different cities of the world.

Coming to Mumbai today is the immersive experience of ‘Van Gogh 360° India’ at the World Trade Centre, Cuff Parade in Mumbai. The show is scheduled to run from January 20 to February 17 and will be open from 10:00 am – 9:00 pm throughout the week. Hosted by the Canadian company Festival House Inc., the exhibit will project his masterpieces on mammoth floor-to-ceiling displays in loop animations for about 45 minutes to an hour.
