About Vincent van Gogh

Vincent 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 is 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, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again.

The Starry Night

The Starry Night, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, one of Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works. The oil-on-canvas painting is dominated by a night sky roiling with chromatic blue swirls, a glowing yellow crescent moon, and stars rendered as radiating orbs. One or two cypress trees, often described as flame-like, tower over the foreground to the left, their dark branches curling and swaying to the movement of the sky that they partly obscure. Amid all this animation, a structured village sits in the distance on the lower right of the canvas. Straight controlled lines make up the small cottages and the slender steeple of a church, which rises as a beacon against rolling blue hills. The glowing yellow squares of the houses suggest the welcoming lights of peaceful homes, creating a calm corner amid the painting’s turbulence.

About Infinite Objects

Infinite Objects have a radical vision: we believe that moving images should be appreciated the same way posters, prints, and photographs have been for decades; not just trapped in our phones and laptops, in our camera roll or on TikTok. So we created a new way to live with video.

Infinite Object’s product is a permanently treated display — what we call a Video Print. No apps, no fussy configuration; just one video, looping forever. You are not buying a gadget, you are collecting a moving image. Infinite Objects hold up to 24 hours of video playing in a perpetual loop, delivering the same experience as art prints or photographs, in a beautiful display, framed in modern acrylic.
