AUTOBIOGRAPHIC : Carlo Zinelli, Valerie Potter

12 Jan-15 Mar 2020

Overview

'Autobiographic' explores the aesthetic diaries of two authors from the alternative history of 20th century art. Carlo Zinelli is the celebrated Italian image-maker, introduced to La Collection de l’Art Brut in 1963 by Professor Vittorino Andreoli, and championed by Andre Breton and Jean Dubuffet. Valerie Potter is a British illustrator and textile artist, whose idiosyncratic production of combined image and text was promoted by Monika Kinley and Roger Cardinal, the latter giving her work a significant platform in his seminal publication, Outsider Art (1972). This exhibition has been made possible in collaboration with La Fondazione Culturale Carlo ZInelli and Jennifer Lauren Gallery.
