In Conjunction with the Blind Community Day 2023 Charity Gala Dinner to be held on 25 March 2023 at Fairmont Singapore, we have specially selected and curated in exhibiting 13 pieces of art work in the foyer for your appreciation and collection. These art items comprising of wire sculptures, oil painting on canvas, acrylic painting and Chinese ink and colour printing on paper for your selection. Half of the art work displayed here are contributed by our visually impaired clients.
Victor Tan (www.victortanweetar.com), a well-known visually impaired sculptor, creates wire sculptures, mainly of human form through touch. In 1999, Victor was awarded The Commonwealth Arts and Crafts Award, which led to a 6 months residency in London and in 2000, his first solo exhibition was staged in London. Numerous other exhibitions followed in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. At the same time, he was also commissioned to work on sculptures now permanently at the Singapore Botanical Gardens, Orchard Central, Sentosa and more.
We also have another visually impaired sculptor, Joshua Tseng who currently sits in the 69th SAVH Executive Committee, is a digital accessibility professional and self-taught wire sculptor. He creates art pieces for charities and the SG Enable i’mable Collective.
Next, our four visually impaired clients in the Touch Art programme have displayed 3 pieces of acrylic painting in collaboration with three volunteers. Last but not least, we have an elongated and elegant art piece from a Balinese visually impaired artist for your visual pleasure.
In addition, five sighted artists have presented six art pieces to complete the inclusivity of the exhibition.
All the art pieces created by the visually impaired have showcased their abilities, artistic talent with achievement. We hope you enjoy and appreciate their work and select one or two that you like for your collection.
