Pavlovic (22) is best known for his quirky illustrations, created over the past two years through his T-shirt business. The exhibition followed a year of mentoring with visual artist and Darlington local Ant Muia.
Muia provided guidance and observed how Pavlovic honed the craft of drawing.

An abstract piece involved dropping, flicking and dripping paint on to a large canvas and then rolling over it in his wheelchair.
Muia said Pavlovic had a knack for depicting people in an honest and engaging manner.
"He makes pictures of himself and the people involved in his life and includes their quirks," Muia said.
�His people are depicted in a matter-of-fact fashion, honestly rendered, warts and all.”
More than 100 people attended the opening night.
