HCM City (VNA) – Art Lighting Experience, an interactive art exhibition designed to engaged all senses, displaying works by two famous painters Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet will open in Ho Chi Minh City on June 21.

On display are works by Van Gogh, along with nearly 100 paintings from the "founder" of impressionist painting Claude Monet.

Van Gogh, a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter, is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade, he created approximately 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life.

Spanning over 3,800 square metres, the exhibition vividly brings the painters’ masterpieces to life from every angle thanks to the combination of many technologies, such as 3D Mapping, Laser Mapping, and Art Lighting Programming.

This will help bring authentic and lively multidimensional experiences to visitors through immersion in an artistic space.

The exhibition will be open to the public at Gigamall, 242 Pham Van Dong street, Thu Duc district, from 9.30am to 11pm daily./.
