Nikhil Chinappa, in collaboration with The Silly Fellow, has assumed the role of the official curator and brand ambassador for the upcoming tours of 'The Real Van Gogh Immersive Experience 2024' in India. This partnership promises an extraordinary visual extravaganza, featuring India's first 22K lumen projection, over 33 million pixels, and expansive projections covering 10,000+ square feet, aiming to breathe fresh life into Vincent Van Gogh's timeless masterpieces.
Debuting in Chennai on 2 February, 2024, this edition of The Real Van Gogh Experience will present a curated exhibition of 200 paintings, providing a captivating encounter with the artistic brilliance of Van Gogh. The carefully selected collection will showcase iconic works such as 'Starry Night,' 'Sunflowers,' 'Wheatfield with Crows,' 'Irises,' and more, illuminating each brushstroke and colour with unprecedented clarity.
Expressing his enthusiasm on the experience, Chinapa emphasised, “Immersive experiences like this are instrumental in democratizing art and making it accessible to a wider audience. By breaking down barriers and creating an inclusive space for engagement, we open doors for individuals who may not have had the opportunity to experience art in such a profound manner. Van Gogh’s art is unique - in that it fosters a sense of belonging among audiences. I believe that this experience will be a game-changer and trendsetter for the Indian art scene, igniting a renewed passion for art appreciation and consumption."
