Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Artbrut, also termed outsider art, is characterized by the pure expression of an untrained artist working outside traditional and official artistic bounds. The art is often created by individuals isolated from society or experiencing intense mental states. Aesthetically, it is raw, unskilled, and typically autobiographical or narrative, detailing personal experiences, unconventional ideas, or fantastic worlds. Many pieces often portray a fervent intensity or intricacy, embodying the artist’s fervor. To create art in this style, focus on personal expression over academic techniques: let ideas lead, not established rules or expectations of art. Experiment with materials outside traditional mediums, communicating authentically and uniquely.
