But, to me, Van Gogh is the finest painter of them all. Certainly, the most popular, great painter of all time, the most beloved. His command of colour the most magnificent. He transformed the pain of his tormented life into ecstatic beauty. Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world… Noone had ever done it before. Perhaps noone ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world’s greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived.

‘LOVING VINCENT,’ an Animated Film Featuring 12 Oil Paintings per Second by Over 100 Painters

‘Loving Vincent’ will
be the world’s first feature length painted animation, with every shot
painted with oil paints on canvas, just as Van Gogh himself painted.
Written & Directed by Dorota Kobiela & Hugh Welchman, produced by Poland’s BreakThru Films & UK’s Trademark Films.  The film is scheduled for a 2017
release.

  • “Every one of the 65,000 frames of the film is an oil-painting
    hand-painted by 125 professional oil-painters who traveled from all
    across Europe to the Loving Vincent studios in Poland and Greece to be a
    part of the production.”
  • “The film was first shot as a live action film with actors then
    hand-painted over frame-by-frame in oils. The final effect is an
    interaction of the performance of the actors playing Vincent’s famous
    portraits, and the performance of the painting animators, bringing these
    characters into the medium of paint.”
  • “Loving Vincent is an investigation
    delving into the life and controversial death of Vincent Van Gogh, one
    of the world’s most beloved painters, as told through his paintings and
    by the characters that inhabit them,”
  • “The
    intrigue unfolds through interviews with the characters closest to
    Vincent and through dramatic reconstructions of the events leading up to
    his death.”
