A line at times divides a plane and at times connects distant things. Having two contrary functions, lines transform themselves endlessly in a space, create shapes, and sometimes express things having no shape. Lines in “Art Brut” are often viewed as a spontaneous or coincidental departure from plan or intention. Yet, the lines are strongly tied to the artist’s irrepressible impulses and emotional attachments and the pleasure afforded by the physical movement involved. Therefore, when the artist’s physical and emotional being fills the lines, gesture is manifest. This exhibition examines the gesture of lines in the work of ten artists.

The exhibition Gesture of Lines features Japanese artists along with artists of California’s Creative Growth Art Center (CGAC), which since 1974 has actively served artists with disabilities and fostered numerous high-quality artists.
