Art B.R.U.T

‘Art B.R.U.T’ is all about showcasing the raw, unfiltered creativity of self-taught artists from Swindon and surrounding areas. Inspired by Jean Dubuffet’s idea of ‘Art Brut’ (Raw Art), this exhibition is packed with bold, expressive pieces that break away from the usual rules of art. There’s no formal training here, just pure, unrestrained creativity.

Expect a mix of painting, 2D sculpture and digital art with audio descriptions that immerse you into the creative process. This isn’t just an exhibition—it’s an invitation to challenge what you think art is and reconnect with that spark of creativity we all have inside. 

Art B.R.U.T is a celebration of artistic freedom, showcasing a diverse range of voices and styles while adding something fresh and exciting to Swindon’s cultural scene.

Think raw, expressive, unpolished, messy, naive, childlike—works that feel instinctive and alive. Figurative and abstract pieces are both welcome, especially those that embrace imperfection, spontaneity, and unfiltered emotion. The main idea is that you enjoyed its creation!

Note: Swindon Museum and Art Gallery will take 40% commission on sales.
