Recently, I made my first trip to Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art. The exhibition, Forget Me Not: Self-Taught Portraits, featured forty-nine artists, some of which are unknown and many of which are long dead. Mixed media appears frequently throughout the show - artists are painting on plywood, tin and even window shades. I especially liked this contemporary piece, C.C. with Hot. The artist, C.J. Pyle, created this simple and strange portrait on a cardboard LP record sleeve from ink, colored pencil and graphite.
The work may not all feel fresh, but to me, this show is refreshing.
