The Journey

Museum Exhibition iPad Paintings Stefan de Groot

The tram and the train started the trip from Amsterdam to Zandvoort Beach from 1904 and onwards. “We gaan naar Zandvoort!” is a mirrored exhibition, it shows the journey by tram in the past and the journey by train in the present. This creates a dynamic time jump in which the past comes to life in colorful images. Stefan de Groot went into the past and painted the past and present with the latest digital techniques. Besides the paintings, the journey can also be followed in a video documentary. It shows the journey by tram and train and at each stop there is an overview of the history.

Digital Panorama

Once arrived in Zandvoort Beach, the boulevard and beach of 1926 is brought to life in a life size digital panorama. The painting is painted in an impressionistic style, while the story is told about the beach life of the twenties. It shows  Zandvoort in the heyday and the disastrous outcome in the Second World War. As the story progresses, the panorama is completed. For the life painting Stefan de Groot developed a new technique that has not been shown before in a museum.
