To Be As Unworldly As Wild Crane Or Floating Clouds

Soh is a self-trained artist with a B.A. degree in mathematics from the National University of Singapore. He began art lessons when he was 11 years old. In 1981, at age 15, he required major spinal cord surgery. Soh became paraplegic and wheelchair-bound after which he did touch his art brushes for more than 10 years. To him, art is everywhere; from memories of traveling with his wife to his deep faith in God that is the mainstay of his artistic inspiration. Reminiscing with his videos and photos, he interprets the scenes of his past abstractly or semi-realistically through painting. He likes to paint nature and landscapes using watercolors, acrylics, and oils on paper and canvas. His mantra: “Disabled does not mean unabled.”
