The Fascination with Aelita Andre- Prodigy or Passing Fad?

As we all know, the world of contemporary art is a fickle thing. There are always trends and movements of the unexplainable in the art market, and the newest sensation causing a stir is four year old Aelita Andre. Yes, I did say 4 year old. She is an Aussie child that is making such a stir in contemporary circles that her work has been called groundbreaking, powerful, and contemplative. Aelita's main media is acrylic on canvas, however she is know to incorporate various fragments of identifiable prompts such as paper butterflies, yarn, paintbrushes( the kind you would find in a cheap set of children's watercolor paint sets). The art is colorful and passionate, and the young artist shows much promise. Below are two of her works:

The one on the left is entitled "Butterfly Islands". The one above is entitled "Butterfly Nebula". Both already show Aelita has a grasp of spaciality, color consciousness, and structure to her works. The art takes up the entire canvas, and the dark tonalities are "cut" or stroked with lighter tones of brushwork, and the media other than paint is "placed" proportionate to the subject mater( the butterflies appear to be on an "Island" isolated from the remainder of the canvas on the Butterfly Islands, for example). These feats alone are fascinating for a 3 year old(her age at the time these were created), and that may be the reason for the art world to be in awe of her art. I, on the other hand, weigh the works in terms of what purpose they serve or will serve the contemporary art world? This question asks if the works are pure aesthetic pieces, or pure commercial art? From a collector's perspective, would you buy this art, and why? For the chance to possible procure a work from the next Picasso at the ground level and gain the prestige of ownership, which to me suggests commercial ramifications, or to own it simple because the art moves you or appeals to your liking? I believe once that question gains a majority answer one way or the other is what will determine the art's significance and purpose. For now, I am going to sit back watch the frenzy. Aelita is currently having her 1st solo exhibition at the Agora Gallery in New York City. Her paintings are expected to fetch anywhere upwards from the mid four figure range. Not too shabby for a toddler!
Well, only 3 days to go until the 54th annual Allentown Art Festival here in Buffalo, NY. I hope to have a new piece in the collection when it's over by the weekend. Until next time _
