High School Student Wants Art To Be “Contagious”
posted (June 13, 2013)
Tomorrow night, the Image Art Factory is showcasing the talent of Belize High School Student Julian Kuo. He has been preparing an exhibit of about 55 paintings, which he produced between February and April of this year.

It is his first exhibit, which he has appropriately named, "Contagious", because he wants to inspire other Belizeans to take up art.

He gave 7News a preview today, and he spoke to us about his work:



Julian Kuo - Artist
"In my art work I try a lot of different style. I want to show everybody that art is easy, you can create your art if you enjoy doing art. So you can see I have an abstract, human, landscape - so I want to make people like art and also they would want to start their own art when they've seen my show. Every artwork I can describe my own story in them so when I do my work, I have to think what I need to present in my show. In the artwork I would like people to think about the story of the art so that when people look at it they will create their own story to describe this work."

The exhibit opens tomorrow at 7 p.m.
