Artabilty

Artability was an exhibition organised by Lane Cove Access Committee, together with Recreation Rendevous, showcasing the work of two autistic artists with special gifts, Ping Lian Yeak  and Bowman Yu. 

We had over 60 people attend the Opening Morning Tea of the show on Wednesday 3 October to view Ping Lian Yeak's intricate drawing style and Bowmans Yu's  creative paintings.

From age 8, Ping Lian suddenly seemed to acquire an obsession for drawing. With limited communication and social skills, art and drawing have been a creative outlet for Ping Lian who has developed his talent over the many years. 

 Bowman Yeochung Yu was born in 1981 in Sydney. His forefathers are from the village of Chang-Yu in the town of Ning in ZheCheung Province in South Eastern China. He was late in acquiring the ability to speak and was diagnosed with sever autism. He liked to sketch from an early age and has continued his love for drawing and now painting
