An exhibition of paintings by a seven-year-old artist from Norfolk have sold out, fetching about £150,000 in half an hour.

Works by Kieron Williamson, from Holt, have sold to fans from as far away as Arizona in the USA.

The exhibition opened at the Picturecraft Gallery in Holt.

Gallery owner Adrian Hill said: "Kieron has probably become one of the most collectable artists currently exhibiting worldwide."

The paintings, which include landscapes and town scenes, fetched between £1,825 and £7,995.

    • The kid ain't bad... but, technically speaking, he ain't that good either... I admire his spunk though... seems like a good kid...

      Overall, I'd have to say the young man's work is a bit too "old skool" for my taste... for that matter, I could pay about as much and get like a Manet or Monet sketch or something... I'll still take Soup Cans and Brillo Boxes... although, that too, is pretty "old skool"

    • I think this would be more impressive if he was from norfolk, va. Although, I doubt people would pay that much for paintings of hypodermic needle beaches and run down strip malls.
