Montreal has been coated with an exhibition of the works of Vincent Van Gogh, the Dutch post-impressionist painter who is among the most famous figures in the history of the art world.

Amidst week-long popularity, the exhibition titled Imagine Van Gogh, will extend its hous throughout February.

Instead of closing on February 2, Imagine Van Gogh will now close on March 1.

The display, which opened in early December, takes guests through the world of colours and emotions of Van Gogh’s works through gigantic murals and an immersive soundtrack.

“Montreal is under the spell of Imagine Van Gogh,” reads the exhibition’s news release. “Spurred by the success of this tour de force by Annabelle Mauger and Julien Baron, Tandem Expositions is extending the exhibition until March 1, 2020.”

First presented in Europe, Imagine Van Gogh is the work of artists Annabelle Mauger and Julien Baron. Their approach is to fuse technology with classical art through the use of more than 200 works by the famous painter.

Montreal’s Van Gogh exhibition highlights the works of the Arles period (1888-1889) and the end of his life (1890).

Works include SunflowersIrisesStarry Night, Wheat Fields, pieces from his Japanesery series, La Mousmé, Portrait of Dr. Gachet, and Van Gogh’s famous self-portrait.
