Art Brut 2021 Special Exhibition
Unframed ーThe limitless flight of creativity and imaginaton
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.
