Exhibition Overview

The exhibition presents Art Brut artists who have been active in Japan and overseas into the modern day. Art Brut has made visible those unknown creators who defy boundaries and shed light on the potential and power of human expression.

Unframed

Boundary-transcending creativity has changed the way we look at art and our values, opening up art into a more familiar world. From the outpourings of vastly diverse human expression that is liberated from preconceived notions, this exhibition will make us believe that each and every one of us has a glow and power of our very own. The diverse values expressed in Art Brut and the new encounters with others that they bring drive us to expand the various forms we take in this world, such as our lifestyles, the ways in which we live our lives, and gender, in myriad, brightly colored ways.
Unframed removes the many boundaries and borders that surround us, opens us up to unknown, infinite possibilities, and lets this world spread its wings to venture into richer places.
