A group of top artists have put brush to canvas to help Boyzone star Keith Duffy raise funds for autism.
Pauline Bewick, Hillary Orpen, Bernadette Madden, Graham Knuttel and Helen Steele are among the artists who created works to be auctioned for charity.
Duffy, whose daughter Mia is autistic, persuaded some of the biggest names in the art world to donate work in aid of Irish Autism Action in December. The 'Raymond Weil Timeless Creations' exhibition stresses the importance of time in treating autism.
"This theme is fundamental to the early detection of autism, as parents race against the clock in order to identify the condition and avail of crucial early treatment," said a spokesperson for the exhibition.
Duffy, who is patron of the IAA and who has campaigned for the charity for years, said: "This exhibition will help us get the funding and exposure that we need".
