Description
Outside In explores the art created by individuals who face significant barriers to engaging with the mainstream art world. Marc Steene's journey into this world began when he witnessed the treatment of people in a day centre, leading him to establish Outside In, a charity championing and promoting the work of artists with disabilities or other challenges.
The book showcases some of the most inspiring artwork produced outside of the mainstream, including pieces by respected 'outsider' artists and others who have been discovered during Steene's work. These include art rescued from European asylums, works channelled from a spirit guide, and creations inspired by popular culture.
Steene provides a compelling case for inclusivity and change in the art world, highlighting the unconventional techniques often used by these artists and the settings in which their work is produced. This book offers a unique perspective on the necessity of creating art by people on the periphery.
