outsider art…

Recently, a friend introduced me to ‘outsider art in Japan’, a relatively new phenomenon in art here, and consequently the web started sending me messages and links about it, urging me to post something. So I guess I should. Without going into it too much, why not check out Miyako Yoshinaga Art Prospect Gallery in New York; they are currently showing the work of a few ‘outsider’ artists known for exhibiting internationally and there is also a link to their picasa photo page here. As for me, well, I really like it, and I hope to see more people getting involved in this kind of thing in the future.
