Colour blind graffiti artist, 11, tells of passion

Eleven-year-old Taye has been drawing and painting ever since he could hold a brush. “It’s my passion, so when I come home to do art I’m like, oh my god yes, it’s finally time,” he said. Earlier this year, he became the youngest person to have their work exhibited as part of the open submission exhibition at Baltic, in Gateshead. He will be selling his work at the Baltic’s Art Car Boot Fair alongside one of the region’s most recognisable street artists, Alex Mulholland, known as Mul. There are more than 60 artists who are sharing their work at the one-day event on 14 July.
