{"product_id":"echo-of-vincent-van-gogh","title":"Echo of Vincent van Gogh","description":"\u003cp\u003eEcho of Vincent van Gogh is a contemporary artwork about obsession, suffering and the fragile line between genius and collapse. The image does not arrive through paint or print. It is carried in controlled scratches on acrylic glass, deepening slowly as light moves across the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVan Gogh gave everything to a practice that rarely gave back. His life was one of sustained removal, stripping away comfort, certainty and stability in service of a vision almost no one around him could yet see. Here, the portrait mirrors that logic. No paint. No print. No ink. The image appears through damage alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLight shifts and the face moves between depth and quiet. From a distance, the eyes hold the viewer. The exhaustion in them is unmistakable, the full weight of a life poured entirely into seeing. Step closer and the face dissolves into a field of controlled surface damage, every mark catching the light at its own angle, every scratch a separate decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is something fitting in this medium. Van Gogh's brushwork was never smooth. It was turbulent, physical, relentless in its honesty. The surface of this work carries that same quality, not through imitation but through a shared logic. Texture as feeling. Marks as emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe emerges from pure black. No background, no context, nothing to soften the confrontation. Just the face, the beard, the eyes. The darkness is not emptiness. It is the space from which the image chooses to appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work continues the Art with Scratch series by Tijs Dragtsma, in which imagery is constructed through controlled surface damage rather than pigment or print. A visual language where damage is not destruction, but structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"He did not paint what he saw. He painted what it felt like to see.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore about the artist, process and materials can be found on the About page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuestions about this work, availability or shipping can be sent through the contact page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TD Fine Art Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58799388819781,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/0724\/0005\/files\/Echo_of_Vincent_van_Gogh_thumbnail.jpg?v=1786140238","url":"https:\/\/tdfineartstudio.com\/products\/echo-of-vincent-van-gogh","provider":"TD Fine Art Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
