If I were to do it (which I'm not :-), I'd do a van Gogh room, such
that everything you see is in his style. You can start with his
bed and the walls, and a dresser containing a vase of flowers,
such that wherever you are, when you look at things they all have
his kind of texture and colouring. Then you could have a couple
of views out the windows along those lines, and transitions from
day to night. It would be an eerie place to go to.
I agree, it would be a great room and an eerie place to go.
But there you have it. Voila, design work finished, discussion over.
When I said I didn't know what to do with Van Gogh, I meant that what
you would do is too obvious to bear much discussion on this list. For
most artists, it would be easy to take Artist X, and make a room that
has the visual style of Artist X. The question is: does Artist X
offer more easy grounds for exploration than simply his/her visual
style? For Van Gogh, I'm stuck. For Dali and Escher, I can see the
possibilities very readily.
Cheers,
