Artists with autism will often use their individualised way of looking at their environment as the inspiration for their work. Often professional and self-taught artists with autism can produce work that is original and innovative and challenges traditional artistic conventions. It can be fantastically detailed reflecting the artists’ ability to focus and absorb detail, or it can be simple and concise, sparsely communicating the artists’ representations of their images.

The exhibition will be shown in Project Ability’s gallery at Trongate 103 and Collins Gallery at Strathclyde University. This will give us a combined hanging space of more than 120 metres. These two leading galleries are within five minutes walk of each other.
