AT last year's annual UOB Painting of the Year competition, 16-year-old Ezra Chan participated and won the Most Promising Artist of the Year award, beating several other youths in the category of Emerging Artist (Singapore).
Mr Chan has mild autism and is a student at Pathlight School, Singapore's first autism-focused school. His talent prompted UOB to invite him as well as 13 other students from Pathlight School's Artist Development Programme to exhibit their works at the UOB Art Gallery in UOB Plaza.
