Care: Carefree

In this episode of Out of Space’s Care series we are looking at the creative process and considering if making good art means taking less care - that is thinking less, relying on instinct and letting things happen. 

This theme brings to mind something Jean Dubuffet wrote about art brut (or outsider art as it has come to be known) and in particular the untutored artists he was inspired by: 

‘Those works created from solitude and from pure and authentic creative impulses – where the worries of competition, acclaim and social promotion do not interfere – are, because of these very facts, more precious than the productions of professionals.’ 

To discuss creativity and artmaking we have two artists who both work with paint in very different ways, Jennifer Campbell and Erin Lawlor.
