No boundaries. No borders.

Monmouth Museum presents
The Neo-Outsider
The New Outsider Artist
Exhibition: June 29 - September 7, 2014

The group exhibition is being guest curated by Dion Hitchings of the Outsider Art Gallery in Frenchtown, NJ.  According to Hitchings:

“The new outsider artists are housewives, policemen, optometrists, truck dispatchers, art directors, dumpster divers, potters, autistic children, grandfathers, mental patients, school teachers, engineers, lawyers, librarians...

Artists who have found their ‘very unique world,’ which has no rules and which does not rely on technique or skill.

Where people can be blue and the world can be flat.  Where flowers can have eyes and purple dogs fly.  Where there are no perspectives or rules to break.

New outsider art can be happy, sad, naive, angry, innocent, childlike, and wild. It has no boundaries or borders.  You are free to express yourself, your world, and your mind, in any way you can imagine and dream.”

The exhibition will feature work from a range artists who reside throughout the United States and globally.  These artists have described themselves as “bohemian hobo dumpster-diving artist”, “observer of people, animals, the land, water, and sky”, “self taught folk artist”, “dabbler”,  “New York street artist” and “self taught outsider artist.”
