It's amazing what a little kid can do with colored canvases, glue, pipe-cleaners, pompoms, plenty of paint—and the understanding that she won't get in trouble if she makes an enormous mess. Sungguh menakjubkan apa yang anak kecil dapat dilakukan dengan kanvas berwarna, lem, pembersih pipa, pompom, banyak cat-dan pemahaman bahwa ia tidak akan mendapat masalah jika ia membuat kekacauan besar. The question is: Is she just playing, or deliberately creating art? Pertanyaannya adalah: Apakah dia hanya bermain, atau sengaja menciptakan karya seni?

Aelita Andre's parents, both artists, are certain that their daughter is a bona fide Abstract Expressionist painter . Orang tua Aelita Andre, kedua seniman, yakin bahwa putri mereka adalah seorang pelukis ekspresionis bona fide Abstrak . The Australian girl has been crawling around on canvases since she was about 9 months old, according to her dad Michael Andre, and she made her first piece of authentic art just a few months later. Gadis Australia telah merangkak di atas kanvas sejak dia sekitar 9 bulan, menurut dia ayah Michael Andre, dan ia membuat potongan pertama seni otentik hanya beberapa bulan kemudian. Now, at the ripe old age of 4, she's got her own show in New York, "The Prodigy of Color" at the Agora Gallery in Chelsea. Sekarang, pada usia matang 4, dia punya acara sendiri di New York, "The Prodigy of Color" di Galeri Agora di Chelsea. And she just sold three of her paintings for a cool $27,000. Dan dia hanya menjual tiga lukisannya untuk dingin $ 27.000.

Angela Di Bello, the gallery's director, chose Aelita's artwork without knowing the little girl's age. Angela Di Bello, direktur galeri, memilih karya seni Aelita tanpa mengetahui usia gadis kecil itu. "I saw great colors, great movement, great composition and very playful, and I thought, 'This is fantastic. Who is this person?' "Saya melihat warna yang besar, gerakan besar, komposisi yang hebat dan sangat menyenangkan, dan saya berpikir, 'Ini fantastis Siapa orang ini?." Only to find out, she's a child," Di Bello told NBC New York . Hanya untuk mencari tahu, dia seorang anak, "Di Bello mengatakan kepada NBC di New York . The 24 paintings on exhibit at the Agora Gallery are priced from $4,400 to $10,000 each. Para 24 lukisan pada pameran di Galeri Agora adalah harga dari $ 4.400 hingga $ 10.000 masing-masing. In 2009, one of her paintings (created when she was just 2 years old) sold for $24,000 during a Hong Kong exhibition. Pada tahun 2009, salah satu lukisannya (dibuat ketika dia hanya 2 tahun) dijual $ 24.000 selama pameran di Hong Kong.

"Every parent thinks their child is gifted, and this is why we thought we really had to go and look for professional advice," her mother, Russian artist Nikka Kalashnikova, said. "Setiap orang tua berpikir anak mereka berbakat, dan ini adalah mengapa kita pikir kita benar-benar harus pergi dan mencari nasihat profesional," ibunya, Rusia artis Nikka Kalashnikova, kata.

Thanks to Aelita, the art world may be experiencing a bit of deja vu. Berkat Aelita, dunia seni mungkin mengalami sedikit deja vu. In 2005, then 4-year-old Marla Olmstead was heralded as the next Jackson Pollock ; her abstract paintings brought in more than $300,000 in just a few months. Pada tahun 2005, kemudian 4-tahun Marla Olmstead ini dianggap sebagai berikutnya Jackson Pollock ; lukisan abstrak nya membawa lebih dari $ 300.000 hanya dalam beberapa bulan. She became the subject of a 2007 documentary, "My Kid Could Paint That," which questioned whether Marla was really creating the pricy paintings herself. Dia menjadi subyek film dokumenter tahun 2007, "Kid Saya Bisa Paint itu," yang mempertanyakan apakah Marla benar-benar menciptakan lukisan pricy sendiri.

Aelita is facing a similar skepticism, even if she doesn't know it yet. Aelita menghadapi skeptisisme serupa, bahkan jika dia belum tahu. "We took her to MoMA yesterday," her mother told the New York Post this week. "Kami membawanya ke MoMA kemarin," ibunya mengatakan kepada New York Post minggu ini. "And she was so upset that we were taking her to see other artists' work instead of going to her own exhibition." "Dan dia begitu marah bahwa kami mengajaknya untuk melihat pekerjaan seniman lain 'bukannya pergi ke pameran sendiri."
