The Starry Night - Word Mosaic Art Print

Word Mosaic Art Print by Curtis Epperson

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ARTWORK

The sky has been moving for more than a century.

You know the blue.

You know the stars.

You know those impossible Whirling Clouds that make the entire night seem alive.

Then you step closer to Curtis’s interpretation and discover Van Gogh’s world hidden inside it.

Bright Crescent Moon.

Cypress Tree.

Oil On Canvas.

Painted In June Of 1889.

View From His Asylum Room.

Whirling Clouds.

And the phrase that tells you what the painting became:

His Magnum Opus.

Curtis spent 31 hours drawing 115 different words and phrases into The Starry Night.

From across the room, you recognize one of the world’s most famous skies.

Up close, the night begins telling you where it came from.

INSIDE THE ARTWORK

I wanted the words to disappear into a painting almost everyone already knows.

Lettering detail from The Starry Night.

The Starry Night gave me visual words I loved immediately.

Bright Crescent Moon. Cypress Tree. Shining. Whirling Clouds.

Then there were details from the story of the painting, including Painted In June Of 1889, View From His Asylum Room and His Magnum Opus.

I used 115 different words and phrases and spent 31 hours drawing them into the finished image.

The challenge with something this recognizable is that the words cannot get in the way of the painting.

From a distance, I wanted you to see The Starry Night.

The history is waiting for you when you come closer.
