Dark arts
An exhibition of artwork deemed so bonkers it was never intended for public ‘consumption’ will open in Plymouth this spring.
‘Inner Landscapes: Outsider and Visionary Art’, at the Plymouth Arts Centre in Looe Street, features a plethora of proper-extreme pictures, drawn from deep inside the various artists’s minds - so expect images of dwarves in gimp suits riding unicycles and bowler-hatted satyrs smoking cigarettes that look like men’s winkies (possibly).
These searing images are so dangerous they were NEVER meant to be shown in public, for fear that anyone who viewed them would puke out their mind morals through their weeping eyes.
Luckily, Colin Rhodes, a respected writer on this so-called Outsider Art, will be at the exhibition’s opening night on April 21 to have a bit of a blather about the work and to calm everybody down. Phew!
The exhibition runs until June 18 and admission is free - although the terminally-unwary should enter at their peril. Â
Wuh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (sniiip… that’s quite enough of that - PRSD Ed)
