Finally Van Gogh Alive is in Malaysia until the 16th of March. At first, I didn’t have really high hopes for this exhibition and kept reading a lot of negative reviews about Van Gogh's exhibitions in other countries. But in the end, I still bought their early bird ticket because I am afraid that I will regret it later since the price is still acceptable for early bird tickets. I decide to go to Van Gogh Alive with my friends and after we set the date we just pre-book our time slot to visit that day.

Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history. In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and self-portraits, and are characterized by bold colors and dramatic, impulsive, and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. Not commercially successful in his career, he struggled with severe depression and poverty, which eventually led to his suicide at age thirty-seven.
