Pirates

This piece’s Art Brut force comes from the unfiltered psychological intensity, while the hard outlines and graphic collisions feel close to graffiti-wall layering.

A colorful, abstract illustration of a human face with exaggerated features, including large lips, a decorated nose, and eyes, with a vibrant, patterned background.

Dude

This piece functions as the mask in the exhibition, with a grotesque face that hides and reveals at the same time. The exaggerated lips, covered eyes, and carnivalesque distortion connect to Art Brut’s raw emotional directness while the simplified color fields give it the impact of a street icon.

Abstract artwork of multiple disembodied facial features including eyes, noses, lips, and parts of faces, arranged in a colorful, cubist style against a yellow background.

Fragments

This work best represents the multiplied self, with faces and partial symbols scattered across the field like psychic debris. It has a graffiti-like composition because the marks feel accumulated, improvised, and public, as if thoughts were tagged across a wall.

Abstract colorful drawing of a face with multiple eyes, surrounded by various shapes including flowers and plants.

Under The Sea

A complex, abstract black and white line drawing with red accents, featuring swirling, organic shapes and intricate details.

This should close the exhibition because it turns the mask-face vocabulary into a more mythic, visionary image. The flaming forms, staring eye, and surreal biomorphic shapes feel outsider-spiritual, while the sharp outlines and electric palette keep it tied to contemporary street graphics.

Bloody Hell

This is the most visceral selection, reducing the image to raw red-and-white impact and agitated linework. Its Art Brut quality lies in its refusal to polish emotion, and its urban influence comes through in the graphic immediacy of the mark.
