Caroline DEMANGEL

(…) Just as they did at the first OAF in 1993, Cavin and Morris will show some of the colorful drawings, filled with organic shapes, the Cezch artist Anna Zemánková (1908-1986) routinely made while 
in a trance-like state. (Highly respected in the Art brut / Outsider art field, Zemánková’s work will be the subject of an exhibition opening at the Collection de l’Art brut in Lausanne, Switzerland, 
in June.) Cavin-Morris will also feature some
new finds: big, exuberant, mixed-media-on-paper pictures by France’s Caroline Demangel (born 1977), whose lumbering, Picasso-meets-Basquiat figures, the artist has noted, are part of “the hatching of something buried I am still exploring”; and ambiguously human creatures drawn in pencil
on paper by the Iranian Davood Koochaki
(born 1939), in whose fuzzy forms smaller ones nestle, like bugs caught in shaggy fur.
