Art Brut Then & Now is a series that presents, from varying angles, artists who have long been active in the Art Brut scene in Japan and overseas for many years, alongside new artists who have been exhibited widely in recent years.

The third exhibition in the series, “Floating in a World of Memories” features five artists from Japan, presenting their works-born from “memory” of physical sensations such as sight and taste—as a “world of artists’ memories of particular moments.” The artists express their “world of memories” each from their own unique viewpoint and emotion in artworks differing greatly in form. By vividly depicting memories of food eaten, scenery and nature observed, and the drawing songs enjoyed in their childhood, the artists take us inside their experience. Even if multiple people spend the same time in the same place, the memory of that time will be unique for each person. That difference in each person’s memory is also an important element in making that person who they are.
