VAN GOGH LA TÊTE DANS LES ÉTOILES – CHÂTEAU DE BEAUGENCY
/ Exhibition
In the celestial representations of Vincent Van Gogh we observe real astrophysical phenomena. NASA, through the photographs taken by Hubble in 2004 immediately alluded to the painting of the painter. Then in 2019, the luminescence represented in swirls in the painting of The Starry Night has attracted the attention of scientists who perceive a phenomenon of fluid mechanics yet unknown at the time of the artist, it is the turbulence described by Andrei Kolmogorov in 1940.
The AV Extended studio, passionate about stellar representations via digital art, has seized the subject and is proposing a contemporary creation at the Château de Beaugency using Van Gogh’s paintings as the starting point for a cosmic journey.
