Re: Outsider Art

I also have to admit that I’m not too familiar with Outsider Art. Naturally, I googled my way to several sites that helped me get a better understanding of the concept, including the Wikipedia site and several sites belonging to outsider artists, past and present. I stumbled upon The Other Side Gallery, an organization that aims to raise awareness of the value and significance of Contemporary Outsider Art.

The Other Side Gallery showcases work from over 200 Outsider Artists.

One of the artists that stuck out to me was Noorghana Malik. She uses really bright, beautiful colors and interesting shapes. I really liked this piece titled “Rhythm of the Heart". 

Thanks for introducing me to this new genre of art, Matt. I’m also interested in seeing Jessica Yu's documentary.
