The full name of Hengxing (Stellar) Academy is "Community Day Care Center - Hengxing (Stellar) Academy". It was established in 2014 for a group of mentally disabled people who graduated from high school and didn’t know where to go due to insufficient social education institutions or services. Also starting in 2015, this group of people began to paint, this activity is still on-going for 10 years. This group of people who have difficulty expressing themselves through words can show the most unique ideas in their creations. Hsinchu Intellectual Association has held art exhibitions in Hsinchu City every year since 2016, and occasionally cooperates with various units to exhibit.
Paintings of people with mental disabilities is straightforward, easy to feel. Audience can easily feel "This is him/her!" An intuitive and transparent way of understanding this person's feelings from the soul. Their paintings have no preconceptions or pretense, they are just pure expressions of themselves. They are simple and complex, and the characteristics of ages from 3, 16, 23, and 40 are integrated in them; their art is complex and simple, and their life experiences are unabashedly displayed in the paintings. When you know the paintings, you know a part of them. Each creator has his/her own unique art style with extremely mature use of color. We sincerely invite you to come for the art feast, to feel their hearts, and yours, too.
