In May, the 3rd Tinker Children's Art Exhibition “Hide and Seek” and Tinker's Charity Exhibition for Autistic Children were held at A.F.A ROJO Art Space in Shanghai.
Sedbergh School students paint for the exhibition, using color and line to convey a different kind of warmth.
《Star-crossed child》
Anna Chen
Encaustic wax and Acrylics on cardboard
104*165
Introduction to the paintings：
Star kids can see, but they have a hard time making eye contact with you; they can talk, but they have a hard time integrating into new and unfamiliar environments; they can hear, but they only choose to listen to what interests them.
They are just more focused on their own world, and are so different, not really different from us.
《Sunflower - Sunset》
Anna Chen
Encaustic wax and Acrylics on cardboard
104*165
Introduction to the paintings：
At a helping event, I interviewed the mother of an autistic child whose 15-year-old son still had no way of naturally describing his needs to others.
Sunsets are often used to symbolize one's twilight years. Every parent with an autistic child shares a common wish: that their child will be better integrated into society and be able to take care of himself when his parents are not around.
《Look at》

Introduction to the paintings：
Autism is a disorder caused by a developmental disorder of the brain. Before painting, I researched the structure of nerve fibers in the brain.
This work is divided into two parts, the upper part reflects the normal brain nerve structure, while the lower part shows the disturbed brain nerves, which also symbolizes the causes of autism.
The sunflowers contrast the upper and lower sections, symbolizing the fervent hope of those on the spectrum.
《We》
Sedbergh students
Collage 40*60 Single
Introduction to the paintings：
The world is packed into a colorful kaleidoscope - Legos spell out angular smiles, rice grains are linked into the stars of the Sahara, silk is entwined into the waves of the Ganges, buttons are the sleepless windows of a city night, and flower petals quietly hide the birthmarks of all races.
Yellow-skinned, white-skinned, and black-skinned children glue themselves to a canvas with glue and imagination, and finally laugh together into a rainbow on a palette.
The so-called differences are nothing more than the various colors of sesame seeds deliberately sprinkled in the dough by Mother Earth. When you look closely, you will hear children's voices coming from the canvas: “Different pupils can reflect the same smile!”
