An exhibition of Bulgarian artists belonging to the Art Brut movement will be unveiled tonight at the gallery of the Bulgarian Cultural Institute in Paris. The exhibition is entitled “Outside the Box”.  In 1945, artist Jean Dubuffet coined the term "art brut" to describe art outside mainstream culture. Today it is used to describe self-taught artists. 

The exhibition features more than 70 works, including paintings, sculptures and wood carvings, as well as a collection of drawings from the archives of a psychiatric hospital. Until now, Bulgaria was the only European country that had not been represented in this field. There is no information about contemporary Bulgarian art brut artists, and because of that they remain completely unknown to the international public.
