On Feb 28, veteran local actor Qi Yuwu guided a group of 40 elderly visitors through the exhibition Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience, held at Resorts World Sentosa.Speaking to AsiaOne,the 46-year-old confessed: "In the beginning, I couldn't appreciate art very well. I thought it was quite pretentious, like they were just doing things which people didn't understand. And the more people didn't understand, the 'better' artists they were considered to be.
He followed up with a Van Gogh example, saying: "For example, there is this painting of a tree with many blooming flowers. The one in blue. When I saw it, I just felt it was beautiful. "When we have certain emotions to express, artists may choose to create, chefs may choose to cook, and actors choose to act. It's the mode of expression that we choose.
"Once I've told them , then they will view the artwork with fixed ideas. And they may not be able to see it in any other way. So I'd prefer they view the artwork first without any previous knowledge," he shared.
