SINGAPORE — The Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore (CPAS) has launched an art exhibition to create greater awareness of persons with cerebral palsy, and to showcase their artistic talent.

The Art On The Move exhibition features the work of five artists — Michelle Low Xiang Xiang, Ang Wei Lun, Ng Xiu Zhen, Minah Binti Mohd and Law Rong Xian — all of whom either suffer from cerebral palsy or medical conditions such as spastic diplegia or hearing and speech impairment.

The travelling exhibition kicked off on Sunday at the W Singapore – Sentosa Cove, and will remain on display there until Wednesday. The exhibition will then travel to three other venues, namely, Kith Cafe at Sentosa Cove (from Oct 1 to 31), Kith Cafe at Robertson Quay (Nov 1 to 30) and The Cheese Steak Shop at Kallang Wave Mall (Dec 1 to 31).

“The artwork not only exemplifies the creative element ... it also supports our vision of giving back to the community,” said Stephane Fabregoul, general manager of W Singapore, about the art, which features illustrations of urban landscapes, flowers, fish and mythical themes.

“Painting is not the easiest thing to do as it requires creativity, talent and skill. The artists have worked tremendously hard on the collection and I’m extremely proud of them and their beautiful art pieces,” said Jessie Holmberg, executive director of CPAS.

“It is my hope that through the Art On the Move exhibition, Singaporeans from all walks of life will not only appreciate the effort that goes into the artwork, but will also be moved by the artists’ optimism and joy. I also hope that more people will develop a better understanding of the condition, and come forward to contribute in one way or another, in helping to enrich the lives of persons with cerebral palsy.”
