Colors that changed the art world
Almost unknown during his lifetime, today one of the most famous artists in the world: Vincent van Gogh created some of the most famous paintings in art history with his vibrant colors and unmistakable style. Works such as Sunflowers, Starry Night and his famous self-portrait continue to inspire millions of people to this day.
VINCENT from the ODD BIRDS collection is reminiscent of an artist who liberated color and brushstrokes from serving the pure depiction of reality and instead used them to express pure emotion. His bright yellow tones, dynamic brushstrokes and the immediate expressiveness of his paintings made him a pioneer of Expressionism and modern painting. Today, van Gogh is considered one of the most influential artists in the history of art.
A tribute made of glass and light
Like all ODD BIRDS, VINCENT interprets his famous role model not realistically, but with a great deal of imagination and humor. The bright orange mop of hair and the warm coloring at the base of his beak are reminiscent of the striking hair and beard color in many of Vincent van Gogh’s self-portraits. The bright sunflowers that adorn his body are particularly striking – an affectionate allusion to one of the most famous works in art history with which his name is inextricably linked. Together with the vibrant shades of yellow, orange and green, the result is a homage that does not portray the painter Vincent van Gogh, but the pictorial world that we still associate with his name today.
For art lovers and free spirits
VINCENT appeals to people who not only want to look at art, but also live with it. Connoisseurs will discover numerous allusions to the work of the Dutch painter, while even those with no prior knowledge of art history will be delighted by the unusual design. The bright sunflowers lend the object a cheerful, decorative aura and create cheerful color accents among the flowers, shrubs and grasses. At dusk, VINCENT unfolds an additional charm: then the flowers begin to glow from within, transforming the homage to the great artist into an atmospheric eye-catcher for indoors and outdoors.
