The Japanese Art Brut works presented in this book bear the imprint of the refinement and delicacy specific to Japanese society. However, the influence of Japanese culture has very little impact on these marginal creators. The choice of subjects and the figurative processes are formulated in such an original way that they give rise to truly alternative productions, shaking up our principles and benchmarks. Faced with the hyper-efficient and competitive Japanese society, the inventiveness of these self-taught authors develops through a primary and impulsive process, deploying an archaic expression that endows the works with a universal scope. Japanese Art Brut triggers a masterful short circuit.
