Two years back, we featured the Dutch artist and statistician, Jeroen van der Most's 360 Degree Paintings on our blog and yet again Jeroen's recent art project has caught our attention.

Modern technology can do wonder and we all are perfectly aware of that but did you know that for the first time in the art history it's possible to see a never realized, future painting. And Jeroen's art project is all about that.

Using a new statistical technique, Jeroen has predicted the next Van Gogh painting. Jeroen first stated with analyzing all the Van Gogh paintings from the Amsterdam Van Gogh museum and then calculate the next step in the oeuvre of the painter.

This technique is very similar to the ones used to predict the trajectory of a comet or missile. Passed trajectory locations enable the calculation of a future location. To a computer colors are numbers, like the trajectory locations. Jeroen has used "the calculation method for the first time on the colors of millions of pixels from pictures of 129 Van Gogh paintings." After studying everything the results were put together into a new image, which served as the base for the new, 'Future Van Gogh' painting.

According to Jeroen, "I have a background as a statistician and artist. I combine the two in this work. I hope it gives people a new perspective on the oeuvre of Van Gogh."

The 'Future Van Gogh' was recently unveiled to the public at the NH Museum Quarter hotel in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
