Chris Opperman

 

南非 口畫家

 

Chris Opperman於1969年出生在南非西北省分一個小鎮,1989年修習神學時,一次嚴重的摔傷,跌碎了他的第五節頸椎。

 

他起初在職業訓練時完全展現不出對繪畫的興趣,但幾年後他在養護之家見到其他四肢癱瘓病友用口繪畫,使他重新提起興趣,嘗試之後繪畫成為他的終生職志。

 

2002年開始接受畫會的獎學金鼓勵,在2001年成為副會員。

 

 

Chris Opperman was born in Lichtenburg, a small town in the Northwestern province of South Africa, on 6 November 1969. He finished school in 1987 and began studying theology one year later. In 1989, on the day when he wrote his last term paper, he had a bad fall and fractured his fifth cervical vertebra.

 

During occupational therapy, he was given a brush, paint and a polystyrene figure, but initially showed no interest in painting. It was not until 1992 when he moved to a home for tetraplegic people and saw several residents paint with their mouths that he made an attempt and took pleasure in it.

 

Painting then became his great passion. In 2002, he was given a scholarship by the Association. Since 2011, he has been an Associate Member of AMFPA.

 

Chris Opperman prefers the technique of oil painting. His predominant themes include the landscapes of his homeland as well as animals and people.
