Artistic ego-boost

Barbara Archer has a gallery for amazing self-taught artists like Mose Tolliver, Toby Ivey, Martin Bernstein and Jeffrey Merritt. The one guy is making sculptures out of what appear to be paperclips and copper wire. I’m not a fan of “folk art” and “outsider art” in general. There’s SO much crap out there, and so little good.
That said, I like the pieces by Kevin Carmain and Scott Griffin. I like the composition and colours in the aircraft welding pieces, but the pieces themselves likely don’t look as good in person. I especially like the blue one but likely as much due to the colour as anything.
