Flick Yoli

L’artiste, lui-même, nous parle de lui :

« Self-taught, Flick Yoli, deals with materials as a matter of aptness in approaching forms, which in all hopes bring him to the most telling bliss of bare existence.

A habitual outsider, Flick Yoli uses a primary lexicon of wear and tear aesthetics that in all likelihood were first revealed to him as an actual silhouette of humanity as seen from the crib.

Early on, he remembers thinking that the art lessons of those who appeared insane could lead to enhanced reason, or even maybe, to special powers. The respect for the behaviors of the insane which he noted in various cultures led him to adopt the panic narrative modality. He also explored this for intuitive market survival purposes.

Vernacular art with a twinge of futuristic regret.

Thank You, Dubuffet! Ah, to live like millionaire eccentrics malingering in fake mental illness, on the palm lined streets amidst the pidgeons, and wearing a bathrobe on the streets – and perhaps even a motheaten beret.Thank God Art Brut is everywhere, for such raw art needn’t be good nor beautiful, nor intentional. It only needs your eye to be.

Thank you, Dubuffet, you have given us this way of seeing art with new, fresh eyes despite the clamorous insinuation of those who seek to to turn its producers into loonies.

Art Brut, for me, is befriending the limitations of materials and by sometimes hobbling the application of mediums. It’s about allowing material to be itself, but to become more than itself – redeemed, in fact.It also allows one, abiding by a unique phenomena, to reveal through subconscious projection onto surfaces, images of the mind unregulated by habits of signature.

Above all, Art Brut is unfettered expression.

Whether its documents are successful in finding admirers, or not, Art Brut is always a success as a process. »
