Exhibition celebrating the work of artists with autism encourages people to see the world differently

Work created by artists with autism has gone on display for a new exhibition that wants to encourage people to see the world differently.

An Infinitely Beautiful Mind features autistic artists alongside established mainstream ones in an attempt to raise awareness of what an inclusive society could look like. The exhibition celebrates a different way of seeing the world and a laborious attention to detail.

It includes work from renowned artist Stuart Semple, who presents a specially commissioned painting about his struggles with emotional distress and anxiety after a near death experience. Other artists included are George Widener, Caroline Jane Harris and Mat Chivers.

The exhibition will raise funds for the charity Autistica, the UK’s leading autism research charity. One of their focuses is mental health issues, something which affects nearly 80% of people who are on the spectrum.
