Stephen Wiltshire, is a London-based artist who paints absolutely breath-taking detailed cityscapes.The catch with this gifted artist-cum-musician is he takes these small 20-minute helicopter rides or simply views city landscapes and architecture to reproduce it on canvass. And mind you these are not miniatures or hang-on portraits, but full fledged tapestry-sized drawing sheets.
While reviewing and reading about his works online, what baffled me the most was how people kept highlighting his autism in the course of his work. Personally, for me, Stephen's works speak so much for his talent that his "being special" should not really matter.
