Aelita Andre's first exhibition was at only 22 months old. It was a group show, so the pressure was lessened, we imagine. From her incredibly glossy website, one learns the Melbourne-based toddler speaks Russian and English, and has been painting since her artist father fortuitously placed a canvas on the floor. Now, at the ripe old age of five, she is presenting her Abstract Expressionist-influenced work at her second solo show at Agora Gallery in New York. In the video above, which contains an aggressively soothing soundtrack resembling a relaxation session gone terribly awry, we see the Young Artist At Work. She proclaims, "I love painting. I'm going to paint for 24 hours." Later on in the video, she muses about watching the sunrise while hard at work. Are her parents running a sweatshop?

Yet another Akiane?

And why are all those "Indigo children" always named something like Aeoieala?

Pst! It's because of their aura. Or something.

i am one of those who genuinely thinks the art of creating and utilization of the imagination are of priceless value. what this little girl creates is obviously beautiful because it is a reflection of her little mind....and while i hate to dismiss her reflection...i can't help but feel that most children would be capable of the same type expression if their parents had an ample amount of $$ to blow on supplies and a space where to let the child create!!
