‘BLIND’ is one of the latest collection of artworks by\u00a0Israeli visual artist and painter,\u00a0Roy Nachum. <\/strong>The\u00a0artworks are a combination of paintings with Braille signage specially created for the visually impaired. \u00a0The moment which made the artist re-contextualize his signature pixel technique into\u00a0Braille, came about a few years ago, when a chance encounter with Braille signage at a museum exhibition forced him to think of new ways in which the blind could possibly experience visual artworks. Until then, he had been utilizing the idea of pixels painted one-by-one to create micro worlds that come together in order to form the pattern of a single reality or of a dream.<\/p>\n Nachum\u2019s photo realistic oil paintings illustrate surrealistic images of a fantasy realm, which employ Braille and a \u201cdouble vision\u201d technique that challenges those with sight to question the limitations of their vision. All the texts comprise poems written by the artist and inspired by the paintings. The ”BLIND” series was recently on view at the\u00a0Joseph Nahmad Contemporary Gallery, which is located at the\u00a0Openhouse Gallery Space\u00a0in New York City.<\/p>\n
