Vienna secession free fonts7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Unlike the other artists who have had immersive exhibitions based on their works ( Van Gogh and Monet), Klimt’s work is imaginative, abstract and almost vibrating with passion. That energy can be felt throughout the show. Lighthouse Immersive describes the period in which Klimt was working as an artist as “ the height of the artistic revolution in Vienna that preceded the fall of an empire: pulsing with bombastic energy and the collision of the traditional and the modern.” In 2020, the team behind Immersive Van Gogh created their newest exhibition, Immersive Klimt. This mainstream accessibility is so surprising because during his lifetime he was deemed extremely controversial. His golden patterns find their way onto clothing and accessories. His paintings have graced dorm rooms as posters all over the world. Over the years, Klimt’s popularity has become almost commercial. Klimt went through so many different periods of his painting, and to see them all laid out together is an amazingly transformative experience. This way, you can see how the animations and projections change depending on your standing in the room. Then, for the second showing, walk around a bit. It’s worth just sitting through the entire loop in one spot to take it all in. I usually advise blocking off about an hour to experience the show from different angles. You are free to stay for as many loops of the show as you like. The entire show lasts 35 minutes and is put on a loop. So plan accordingly to save a bit of money! How Long is the Show But on weekday afternoons, tickets are only $35. Weekends and evenings are $45-$55 CAD per adult. Tickets vary in price depending on the time and day of the week. Currently, the show is on in Toronto, but in 2022 it plans on touring the USA. To see his beginning, inspiration, fellow painters, and most importantly, the women who were his great muses!ĭepending on where you see the show, the ticket prices may vary slightly. Immersive Klimt takes the audience on a journey throughout the life of Gustav Klimt. Even today, his paintings stir something deep down inside of all us. And above all else, Klimt found a way to weave eroticism into all his works, either subtlety… or not so subtlety. He moved away from the standards of the time and found a like group of people who would transform the world of art forever. Klimt was a man who broke the rules and was somewhat of a rebel in the art community. The couple in the centre almost lost within this mesmerizing kaleidoscope. It truly did shimmer and shine when you looked at it. It felt like it had been carved from gold instead of painted with it. I had seen it many times online and in books but seeing it in real life took my breath away. When I saw The Kiss in person at the Belvedere Museum in Vienna for the first time, I was floored. There is something about his golden dreamlands that ensnares the senses. Gustav Klimt has always been one of my favourite painters.
