James Rottman Fine Art

We are getting somewhere now with the installation of "THE OUTSIDERS" exhibition opening this Saturday May 30, 2 - 5 pm. Hours: 11 am - 5 pm
Opening reception: 2 - 5 pm

Sharing a few of the many great works in the upcoming exhibition in our post.

Outsider Art is closely linked to the term Art Brut - literally "raw art" - coined by French artist Jean Dubuffet to describe works created outside the reach of academic training or cultural institutions. Art Brut often arises in solitude, driven by an urgent need to express, rather than a desire to impress. These creations may carry a naive quality, but often reveal an astonishing intensity, often tapping into universal emotions with a raw immediacy that trained artists sometimes struggle to capture.

Join us Saturday and explore the fascinating works of Quebec artists Anick Langelier, Luc Giard, Marc Leduc, and Ontario based artists Fruit Stains, Devon Marinac and James Kirkpatrick in "The Outsiders".
