Thread Name: BS: Artsy or Fartsy?
Subject: RE: BS: Artsy or Fartsy?
there is a big Outsider art movement here in Australia. And the people promoting it are pretty much the Outsiders. One of these artists is one of the most brilliant people I have ever met. He is also regulalrly psychotic, which is a tough life to live. He is always either recovering or slowly winding up again.

Outsider art is interesting - having a look at someone who, through going on a completely different life journey, creates a piece of artwork which comes from their own mind view and influences. Some outsiders are sane, some are not. Some are intellectuals, some are autistic. The outsider artwork I have is fantastic, three artworks and a piece of jewellry by different artists.
