INSIDER

September 12, 2008 - October 18, 2008

The INSIDER exhibition is an exploration of artists in the Detroit area whose works all share an unrestrained, graphic and often harsh expression with the materials they utilize. Varying in subject matter and mediums, a common thread that ties the works together is a raw sensibility, inward expression and passion, which bind artists from Art Brut, Outsider Art, and contemporary mainstream artists. Together, these artists share a passionate and intense, sometimes dark or haunting intuition.  Some have shown their works in mainstream art galleries and others in non-traditional venues; both recently or long ago.  INSIDER celebrates the common passion for a natural and tender or crude expression.
