Artist with Multiple Sclerosis opens virtual exhibition
Multiple Sclerosis is an unpredictable and often disabling disease of the central nervous system, and symptoms can range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis.
Scottburgh artist Kieran Anderson has opened a virtual exhibition consisting of 57 unique pieces of which 10% of sales will be donated to Multiple Sclerosis South Africa (MSSA).
Anderson, who has lived with Multiple Sclerosis for over 20 years, teamed up with local virtual gallery design agency My3ideas to create this online fine art exhibition which is his first solo exhibition.
Multiple Sclerosis is an unpredictable and often disabling disease of the central nervous system, and symptoms can range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis.
Since 2016, Anderson’s Multiple Sclerosis has become more challenging and progressed rapidly, yet he remains positive and celebrates the good days when he is able to create his art which helps him through the bad days.
Anderson studied Fine Arts at Technikon Witwatersrand where he won first prize in the New Signatures competition. After his studies, he went to work in graphic design and spent 20 years in the field.
He is known for his bold use of colours and energetic painting style and finds oils particularly satisfying.
Anderson’s virtual exhibition can be found online and he hopes that his journey can assist and inspire others living with Multiple Sclerosis.
