“I have found Vincent” proclaims artist Douglas Coupland

Douglas Coupland, a Vancouver-based writer and artist, has located Vincent van Gogh, or rather his closest lookalike. Out of 1,250 entrants from 37 countries, Daniel Baker from Christchurch, England is the doppelganger for the famous Dutch artist. Coupland will use Baker’s image as the source material to create a large 3D bronze sculpture of Van Gogh commissioned by Anthony von Mandl, who will install “Vincent” at his radical new Pinot Noir winery in the Okanagan Valley.
