《梵高:沉浸式体验展》

在众所期待中,终于来到新加坡了,而且还一票难求。

记得我在英国留学时,总爱跑到National Gallery 和 Tate Gallery London 欣赏梵高的向日葵和他其它作品。能目睹伟大画家的真迹,心中的那股兴奋是我无法用言语形容的。

我想梵高在动笔画《星空》和《麥田》时,肯定身临其境,感受到了星空和麥田的舞动。他沉浸在大自然中,身体和画笔都随之偏偏起舞,与大自然融为一体,进入了心流状态(即:奇克森特米哈伊·米哈伊所形容的Flow State)以后然后作画。

听说,梵高老爱批评其他画家在画作上加上外来元素。他说:"要画你所看到的,才是真实的,实在的!" 因此,梵高的人缘极差,他一生里,留下2000幅画,只卖出一幅画而已。

他勇于追寻自己的梦想,勇于追寻自己的艺术。。。却落得孤独一人,没什么朋友,也沒有爱人。除了弟弟的支持以外,他几乎没有知音,一生穷困潦倒。

当没有人了解他的内心时,他是多么地痛苦和悲伤的啊。

就这样,他最后因为神经错乱而自杀。也许他觉得这样就可以不再痛苦,重获自由。

正如星空 Vincent 的歌词里所写:

Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me

How you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they did not know how

Perhaps they'll listen now.

我一直非常欣赏梵高的画。这次观看《梵高:沉浸式体验展》,我犹如穿越时空,通过现代科技进入了梵高的艺术世界里。

通过重新诠释梵高的画和加入新元素,我也深深地体会和感受了梵高的内心。因此,将此次线上展命名为《体会梵高。感受梵高》

梵高处于人生低谷的时候,哪怕没钱没地方住,却仍旧画出一幅幅色颜鲜明的世界名画。

他给我的启示是我们总是能够在最黑暗的角落点一盏灯,在最淒寒的路上,生一堆火。

 Van Gogh: An Immersive Experience
In the midst of everyone's expectations, it finally came to Singapore, and it was hard to book a ticket. I remember when I was studying in the UK, I always loved to go to the National Gallery and Tate Gallery London to see Van Gogh's sunflowers and his other works. The excitement in my heart to witness the real work of the great painter is beyond my words. I think Van Gogh must have been immersed in the scene when he painted "Starry Sky" and "Wheat Field” and felt the dancing of the starry sky and wheat fields. He immersed himself in nature, dancing with his body and brush, becoming one with nature, entering a state of flow. I heard that Van Gogh always criticized other painters for adding foreign elements to their paintings. He said, "To paint what you see!" Therefore, Van Gogh's popularity is extremely poor, and in his lifetime, he left 2,000 paintings and only sold one painting.

 Van Gogh finally committed suicide due to insanity. Maybe he felt that in this way he could stop suffering and be free. As Vincent's lyrics read:
Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free.

They would not listen,

they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now.

I have always admired Van Gogh's paintings. Watching "Van Gogh: Immersive Experience Exhibition" this time, I felt like I had travelled through time and space and entered Van Gogh's art world through modern technology. By reinterpreting Van Gogh's paintings and adding new elements, I also deeply experienced and felt Van Gogh's heart. Therefore, this online exhibition is named "Experience Van Gogh. Feel Van Gogh".

When Van Gogh was at a low point in his life, even if he had no money and no place to live, he still painted world-famous paintings with bright colors. His revelation to me is that we can always light a lamp in the darkest corner and build a fire on the coldest road.
