Leon is a practising psychological therapist and in his "Psychology Of" clubs, he breaks down, in simple terms, the psychology behind our most human decision-making systems. Why are you the way you are? Why are humans like this? Is it you? Your trauma? Your upbringing? Your experiences? How do all those affect how you see the world and act in it?
Tonight, let's break down and discuss the psychology of the great Vincent Van Gogh! How would a psychologist of today diagnose him? What drives a mind to create beauty out of suffering? How do madness, genius, and emotion intertwine in the life of one of history’s most haunting artists? In this thought-provoking discussion led by Leon, a psychologist and devoted art lover, we’ll explore the complex psychology of Vincent van Gogh, a man whose vivid colours and emotional brushstrokes revealed both torment and transcendence.
Together, we’ll examine his art and letters, trace his turbulent relationships, and discuss the psychological conditions that shaped his inner world. Was Van Gogh’s brilliance inseparable from his instability, or could his art have flourished without his pain? Join us for an evening of deep reflection, aesthetic appreciation, and lively conversation about the thin line between creativity and chaos.
Leon是一位心理治疗师,他在自己的“心理学解读”系列中,会用通俗的方式带大家理解人类行为背后的心理机制。为什么我们会是现在这样的自己?为什么人类会有这样的反应?是创伤、成长背景,还是生活经历塑造了我们的思维和行为?这些问题今晚都将围绕一个人展开——梵高。
如果梵高活在今天,他会被心理学家如何诊断?是什么让一个人能从痛苦中创造出如此惊人的美?疯狂、天才与情感在他的人生中是如何交织的?在这场由心理学家兼艺术爱好者Leon带领的讨论中,我们将深入探索梵高的复杂内心——一个用色彩与笔触诉说灵魂的人,他的艺术既是痛苦的映照,也是超越痛苦的光。
我们将一起欣赏他的画作与书信,剖析他动荡的关系,以及那些塑造他内心世界的心理因素。梵高的天赋是否离不开他的不稳定?如果没有痛苦,他的艺术还能如此绽放吗?加入我们,一起在艺术与心理的交汇处,聊聊创作与疯狂之间那条模糊又迷人的界线。
