Artist’s Painting Gets Mistaken For A Van Gogh, So She Creates Brilliant ‘Starry Night’ Series (Part II)
One thing is certain, if your painting is confused with one by Vincent Van Gogh, you really have a talent. Do you still remember New-York based artist Aja Trier, who mashes up pop culture elements with Van Gogh's expressive style? Well, a year ago she proved to us that she is extremely talented, and now she is back!
Everything started when an educational blog mistakenly shared her painting of the Eiffel Tower and branded it as a painting by Van Gogh by mistake. It is worth mentioning that this painting of the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889 and the famous artist died in 1890. He spent the rest of his life in the south France, therefore, it's not quite possible that he even saw the famous tower.
After this happened, Trier decided to have some fun with this situation and created a whole series of Van Gogh-style paintings that show the things that the famous Dutch painter never got to see before his death. This is how the 'Van Gogh Never' series was born.

Wonderful use of color. It looks like it's lit from within. I'm jealous (in a good way the way that encourages you not to quit).

Aww, love Lil Bub - I'd recognize that derp-tongue anywhere! She's captured Bub's permanent look of wonder.

Beautiful : the black cat sitting on pumpkins under the moonlight gives this one a Hallowe’en flavour.

The picture in my view shows a dog who has lost a fallen comrad in battle and is looking to the stars hoping one day he will be there too. This picture hit me hard

Looks like she added paper for a 3-D effect? Or else it's just ultra-thick paint. Either way, very cool.

I love them. I can see how one of her paintings got confused with one by Vincent Van Gogh. She made the best of the situation and I love the resulting series. She really got his style down and successfully combined it with her own style and with pop culture.
