Turing artwork by Hong Kong cartoonist Honsanawong, entitled 3-year-old Turing - 1915.
It is apparently based on a passage in Andrew Hodges' biography:
"The parents came to England as often as they could, but even when they did, that
was not home either. When Mrs Turing returned in spring 1915, she took the boys into
furnished and serviced rooms in St Leonards - gloomy
places decorated by samplers embroidered with the more sacrificial kind of hymn. By this time
Alan could talk, and proved himself the kind of little boy who could attract the
attention of strangers with precocious, rather penetratingly high-pitched comments,
but also a naughty and wilful one, in whom winning ways could rapidly give way to tantrums
when he was thwarted. Experiment, as with planting his broken toy sailors in the ground,
hoping they would grow afresh, was easily confused with naughtiness."

Description from Loke Lay:
Cpak Ming succeeded in projecting huge Alan Turing image
onto building wall.
But image not huge enough.
Building not tall enough.
( Just "Academy for Performing Arts" beside
"Hong Kong Arts Centre".)
We'll do it again when Cpak Ming is free from his work.
Hopefully by the end of June.
