New-York based artist Aja Trier attracted a lot of public attention last year when her painting of the Eiffel Tower was thought by many online to be an art piece by famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. Trier decided to have some fun with this situation, so she continued to create more paintings using Van Gogh’s expressive style.
In her latest “Starry Night” dog series, the artist placed our lovely best friends in a familiar setting inspired by Van Gogh and the results are adorable!
Trier has been an admirer of Van Gogh’s work for a long time and she always painted in an impressionist manner. However, she claims that she never thought that her work looked like Van Gogh’s.
“The energy and flow of his works is what resonates with me,” Trier said. “The thick strokes – I love being able to see the artist’s fingerprint in the art through their mark making. You can almost follow with your eyes the movements their hand made.”
