On August 3 started the final stage of the digital exhibition
"Art Brut Global - Phase III" has started from the organizers of the
"Outsider Art Fair". They offered to represent the street photographer from St. Petersburg - Valentin Simankov from "Outsiderville". In June, we already took part in "Phase II - New Discoveries" with four of our artists - and decided to try our luck again, becoming the only organization from Russia.
"Here and Now" will be held to 24 August and is the third stage, in which features 68 experienced and currently living outsider artists from all over the world, The related fields of Art Brut, Folk Art and Outsider Art are commonly associated with canonical heroes like Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, Aloïse Corbaz, Henry Darger, Thornton Dial, William Edmondson, Martín Ramirez, Judith Scott, Bill Traylor, and Adolf Wölfli. Here and Now brings deserved attention to the current generation of self-taught artists whose radically individualistic visions have propelled them to distinguished careers.
As recognition of self-taught artists has gained traction, and their influence on contemporary art become widely acknowledged, their work has been more regularly exhibited and collected beyond the boundaries of the Outsider world, where it was first discovered and shared publicly.
While many of those featured in Here and Now have been fixtures in the field for decades, like Charles Benefiel, François Burland, JJ Cromer, Donald Mitchell, Winfred Rembert, Ody Saban, Kevin Sampson, Christine Sefelosha, and Domenico Zindato, more recent arrivals on the stage include virtuoso draftsmen like Noviadi Angkasapura, Gil Batle, and M'onma.
