Kanyeyachukwu started his painting at age two when he began showing a proclivity towards art, scribbling abstract forms on papers and on the walls of his family’s home in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
The autistic artist had had a solo art exhibition in Dubai tagged ‘FAT’, depicting that he is Fabulous, Autistic and Talented.
According to his father, the family engaged in the art exhibition for two major reasons; first to showcase Kanye’s art and the passion to let the world know that children living with autism need to be catered for. Besides, he said the family wants to take the art show all over the world.
