"Untitled"  20" x 16"  2002

By A.


Artist ‘A’, who had been in a coma for eighteen months, was wheeled into the art studio in April, 2002 in a semi-comatose state. Starring blankly, ‘A’ had regained some cognition and movement in his right arm. Stephanie, his mother and I discussed a plan to have him brought on a regular basis to the art studio so he would be stimulated by all the activity and perhaps engage him in making art. It is now a year later and ‘A’ has completed nineteen paintings on canvas. 

The paintings, with deliberate strokes and color choices, indicate cognitive development though his responsiveness has only improved slightly. While in the art studio, he works intently for one-hundred to one-hundred-twenty minutes, on average, three times a week, We feel he is experiencing some gratification.
