Description
Outsider Art form Japan accompanies an exhibition at the Het Dolhuys Museum in Haarlem starting in Spring 2012.
This carefully crafted publication is comprised of fifty biographies of Japanese artists. Collectively they have shown almost a thousand pieces of art in a Europe-wide touring exhibition. Outsider art is exceptionally expressive. The special artists communicate mainly via these pieces of art. They are not trained to be artists and have a mental illness or a mental handicap.
Amongst others in this book is work by Marie Suzuki (1979); facinated by the human body, where breasts and genitalia dominate, she produces expressive paintings. Her work is mainly based on childhood memories; here, art is an unmissable form of expression. Outsider Art from Japan also includes very impressive works by Shinichi Sawada (1982). In a detailed manner he makes earthenware statues that appear to look like friendly monsters. Sawada has a form of autism and hardly speaks; his main form of communication is via his art. Sawada has already sold some of his works of art in the United States.
The artists and their works of art are specially selected by Hans Looijen, manager of Het Dolhuys Museum in Haarlem, where the exhibition will start in the spring of 2012.
