We love arts, we love painting...It's a
strong desire from the heart, without any training,
we still want to create and express our world in
all our favourite colours.
The characteristics of naïve art
From
The characteristics of naïve art are
an awkward relationship to the formal qualities of
painting. Difficulties with drawing and perspective that
result in a charmingly awkward and often refreshing
vision, strong use of pattern, unrefined colour, and
simplicity rather than subtlety are all supposed markers
of naïve art. It has, however, become such a popular and
recognisable style that many examples could be called
pseudo-naïve.
Whereas naïve art ideally describes
the work of an artist who did not receive a formal
education in an art school or academy, for example Henri
Rousseau or Alfred Wallis, 'pseudo naïve' or 'faux naïve'
art describes the work of an artist working in a more
imitative or self-conscious mode and whose work can be
seen as more imitative than original.
