Joker

By Aaron Yeo Kwok Chian, MFPA

Joaquin Phoenix’s haunting portrayal forces us to confront the complexities of mental health and societal neglect, sparking important conversations about empathy and understanding. “Joker” challenges us to look beyond the surface and recognise the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, no matter how marginalised or misunderstood they may seem.

About
Aaron was a hairstylist before a motorcycle accident left him paralysed from the neck down. Overcome with grief, Aaron spent years trying to come to terms with this new reality without much success. A chance meeting with another tetraplegic introduced him to the therapeutic world of art. Slowly but surely, Aaron discovered his hidden talent for painting and received formal training from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA). Aaron's practice in oil is steeped in realism as he draws inspiration from nature. Every stroke deftly captures his subject in precise detail.
