Autism girl’s art shows ‘extraordinary mastery’ | The Sunday Times:
A leading art expert has described the paintings of a six-year-old girl with severe autisim as showing “an extraordinary mastery of techniques that one might find in any London contemporary art gallery”.
Bendor Grosvenor, who is part of the BBC1 Fake or Fortune team, was shown some of Iris Grace Carter-Johnson’s work without knowing her background or age. “The pictures also reveal an intensive observation of nature,” he said.
Iris Grace began to paint, almost by chance, three years ago. Now some of her originals have been likened to Monet’s Impressionist works of his garden and ponds at Giverny, while others have been compared to the American abstract artist Jackson Pollock. They sell for as much as £2,000; buyers include Angelina Jolie, while Olivia Colman and Ashton Kutchter are among her fans.
