Painting The Mind

Just finished watching 'Painting the Mind' on 4od. It tells the stories of several different people who are compulsed to produce art work- all the time. With two people, the art began with problems after a stroke, and is very expressive. The show contrasts these two with artistic savants, who produce much more realistic images.
I find the science behind the need to produce art to be interesting. I also noted the strong links between speech and expressivism vs. realism as interesting.
