Raw Vision - 25 ans d’Art Brut (final week)

An exposition celebrating the 25th anniversary of Raw Vision - a London magazine based around non-conventional contemporary folk art or "outsider art". This outsider art concept is what makes the exposition, with most works tapping directly into the deep subconscious place from where the most innovative and creative art comes from.

Small blurbs throughout the exhibit provide insights into the outsider artists - artists that have experienced illnesses, disabilities, different states of mental health, persecution, imprisonment etc etc. Freedoms that have been taken away from the artists, but inadvertently allowed them to achieve creativity that many can only dream of.

There are over 80 artists on display from around the world, shown over two levels in the Halle Saint Pierre.

••  Runs 18 Sep 2013 - 22 Aug 2014, at La Halle Saint Pierre (2 rue Ronsard, 75018 Paris). Aug opening hours - Mon to Fri, afternoons only.
