VIA (Visually Impaired Artists) is a collective of people coming together to create their own art side by side. They have been meeting at Turf Projects since 2022.
This project features work from Hugh, Masha, and the Kosmic Joker, as well as a collaboration between VIA and Art Press. Kosmic Joker is an artist who uses a variety of mediums from photography and filming to drawing and electronic music. His preferred art is a combination of poster art and 60s psychedelic art. He also like art that has to do with magic, demons, Egyptian mythology and psychedelic music. Kosmic Joker had to find ways to keep on doing art with changing eyesight. “For me, Art is at its best when it comes from inside your head, not trying to copy things we see but purely using imagination.” Hugh’s wife Jenny is an artist, but he started drawing and painting after retirement as a hobby. Hugh likes his art to tell a story and leave a sense of intrigue; he creates pictures that make you ask questions about what’s going on, pictures with action or a bit of humour. Masha keeps herself busy by facilitating the group and supporting them in their artistic journeys. With thanks to Bori Hardi and Rosie Crane Eckmire.Est 2013, Turf is Croydon’s homegrown art space; free exhibitions & workshops, studios & collectives run by creatives for creatives.
