Since 2012, the Association of Artists Drawing with Mouth and Feet has held an online painting exhibition “Mouth and Foot Painting Artists Museum” in order to let many people see the paintings of people with disabilities. In addition, we are pleased to announce the holding of the 8th online painting exhibition “SPORT & PEACE With Sports and Peace” in this spring.
The Mouth and Feet Artist Association is a group of painters who use both hands and feet to draw. It started in Europe in 1956 and is now expanding into 72 countries and regions. It has been active in Japan from 1961 to 1959. Painters have been deprived of the important things for those who aspire to art for various reasons such as illness and accidents. However, I continue to draw with a brush on my mouth and legs to become independent.
The online painting exhibition was started in 2012 so that many people can have a new opportunity to freely see the paintings of the painters who draw with their mouths and legs. Various themes such as paintings by painters active in Japan and overseas, original paintings of original goods drawn with mouth and feet, reproduction of exhibitions held in the past, paintings of contest held on the 60th anniversary of the foundation of the association I have introduced it to you.
This is the eighth time for the online painting exhibition this spring, and we are introducing paintings with the theme of an international sports event scheduled to be held this summer. The event has been postponed, but painters have been thinking about this big event and have been drawing pictures for several years, and made it with all their might. In addition, at the time of the 40th anniversary of the foundation of the association, we will also introduce works drawn under the theme of “a picture of my peace”. We hope you will take this opportunity to see and feel the “courage to live” from the heartfelt works of the painters, and have an opportunity to interact with their paintings.
Due to the unexpected spread of the new coronavirus, the social situation is far beyond our imagination. I hope that the painters and we, like you all, will be able to survive this crucial phase and come together for a bright future.
