  • Les Enfants Terribles

    Group Exhibition
    May 17th to September 15th, 2012
    Spacejunk Art Center Bayonne, France

    Throughout time, the art world has seen its share of “enfants terribles” whose work questions academic standards and disrupts the established channels of distribution and ways of acquiring legitimacy. On any occasion, they never fail to provoke a reaction. This exhibition sheds light on two artistic movements which, although originally from the United States, today, enjoy worldwide recognition and a global following: “Lowbrow” and “Pop Surrealism”. Two movements which have been intersecting and colliding since the 70s, led by what you could surely call some of the art world’s “enfants terribles”.

    Drawing their inspiration from comic books, cartoons, kustom kulture and, more recently, from the world of tattoos, skateboarding and alternative music, these artists confront us with our own cultural references, which are assimilated and forcefully depicted. Their work has become known worldwide. Thanks to the use of unexpected ways of showing art and new mediums such as album covers, concert posters, skate and snowboard decks and some sportswear brands.

    The Artists: Robert Williams, Todd Schorr, Ray Caesar, Kris Kuksi, Nicolas Thomas, Jeff Soto, Caia Koopman, Reg Mombassa, Odo, Naoto Hattori, Victor Castillo, Steph Cop.
