7 Year Old Artist

[VirusType2]

The boy who paints like an old master

His pictures cost upwards of £900, there are 680 people on a waiting list to buy them, and his second exhibition sold out in 14 minutes. Patrick Barkham meets the gifted artist Kieron Williamson, aged seven

I wonder how far he will take his skill. If he's only 7, imagine if he's still painting when hes an old man.

This makes me angry. As a young lad, I thought my shitty pictures of random things such as people eating cats, or dinosaurs were amazing, and that I would one day grow up and make millions. If me as a 7 year old were able to see this by the use of a time machine, I think I would've gone mad.

I wouldn't buy anything from him. You can't fully understand many complex forms/shapes at that age.

Just because most children can't, doesn't mean all children can't.

There's a reason why we have terms such as Child Prodigy.

It's good, but the only selling point is his age. Whatever pays the bills I suppose.

well let's see them!

I'm gonna find this kid. And I'm gonna eat him to absorb his ability. This is how I grow better at drawing rather than things like "practice" and "study."

 

[jondy]

I'd eat Ray Mears, then Derren Brown, then Jet Li, and then a baby to grow younger.

It's a pretty shit painting to be honest, if he was 30 instead of 7, no-one would buy it. GG kid.

This but thats still pretty ****ing impressive.

I don't think you should encourage the kid, it's not fair.

I know, right? People are all like, 'you have a special talent that should be nurtured'. Makes me sick.
