More Art Love

Virtue Path by Benjamin Jones
As you may or may not know, I’m a huge fan of outsider art. I love it because it there’s something honest an unpretentious about it. “Fine” art often makes me think I’m not smart enough or cool enough to be a part of it. Outsider Art, Folk Art, Art Brut, whatever people call it, finds beauty in the imperfect, untrained and disregarded. It feels like it comes more from the heart than the head. Maybe I’m wrong, but I like it anyway. Benjamin Jones is one of my favorites.
By the way, I love BJ’s work, but I don’t have any $7000 paintings! There’s much cheaper stuff in the rest of the gallery.
