A WELLINGTON youngster is hosting his first exhibition in Taunton.

Works by eight-year-old Kevin Kovacs have gone on show at the Tacchi-Morris Arts Centre.

The youngster is self taught and has become famous on social media, where his mum, Natalia, posts pictures of his work.

Kevin likes to paint boats and historic buildings, combining his passion for art with a love of Lego and Airfix models.

Last year, he won several awards and competitions, including The Sun Christmas Card Competition.

Now, his work is on show to visitors to the Tacchi-Morris, in Monkton Heathfield, until April 28.

Natalia said: “Both me and his father are very happy and proud. Whatever he chooses in his future to pursue we will always support him.”
