We are thrilled to be invited back by PCPA for this 2nd annual show that celebrates the NEW artists we are proud to work with for the calendar year. NEW BROW is a new defining term (from Europe of course) to define art of the "outsider" or "low brow" nature, for the next generation.* These terms, outsider and low brow, have been terms to define art that is “outside the norm” or made by artists that were “uneducated” in the art world.* In Portland, we feel that these “new brow” artists are the best juxtaposition to the gallery world, and the "fine art" made in these areas today by both self-taught and trained artists in many genres (comic realms, poster art, tattooing, paintings, and fine art) are very much a skilled effort, and the idea of NEW BROW is a celebration of fine art and outsider art as a union.* It’s not entirely defined by the art style, but rather the community at large and the artist’s individual life balanced within their art making.* From age 20 to 70, these artists are united in our town.* Still within the realm of "edgy", these fine artists rest on the edge of the pop-art that defines our world and these are some of Portland's best, and definitely some of our favorites in the city.
