He who has ears, let him hear. He who has eyes, let him see. And what about those who are deprived of sight and hearing? Living in darkness and silence, not being able to see the world around you, enjoy wonderful works of art, hear great music, visit a theater or cinema, is probably unbearable. To alleviate the fate of these people, designers are developing a lot of devices and appliances for everyday life, and the Israeli artist Roy Nachum figured out how to introduce them to art, in particular, to painting. The artist's extraordinary art project is called Open Your Eyes and it consists of a series of equally extraordinary paintings that the sighted can view, and the blind or visually impaired can read. Confident that art should be accessible to all people, since it helps a person's personality to develop, grow and strengthen, he puts a description in Braille on his paintings. Thus, each person has the opportunity to touch the beauty, and in the literal sense of the word.
The painting of Roy Nachum itself is also noteworthy. His work surprises, raises a lot of questions, it is more incomprehensible than vice versa. But if you remember that some viewers will not even see what is drawn, but will read about it on canvas, given that many blind people have never seen what a woman, tree, animal or bird looks like, then surreal, fantasy stories, created by the author's imagination, will be just in the subject. Yes, and sighted visitors to the gallery with Roy Nachum's paintings will not be superfluous to "open their eyes" and get a little distracted from everyday life, plunging into unreal, fictional worlds drawn by an Israeli author.
Roy Nahum is considered one of the most promising artists of the new generation, his surrealistic hyperrealism is worthy of the highest praise, and it is not for nothing that the artist's amazing paintings are exhibited in central European galleries and creative centers. You can get acquainted with these paintings and other works of Roy Nahum on his website.
