Naive art, the art of the modern primitives, the art of the self-taught, folk art, rural art, undisciplined art, whatever you want to call it, has its admirers because it often highlights the social aspect of our society.

Naive art can be found in villages and cities, among a growing number of sensitive, rebellious individuals who are also committed and have a message to convey. It is not just a popular art tradition, and while it concerns workers, peasants and employees, it also originates among executives and notables who have their say in this rapidly changing world. This undisciplined art is a unifying force that breaks down community boundaries.

Whatever social group they belong to, the artists who will be representing naive art throughout this Autumn 2025 show, whether they live in the countryside, in a factory or in the city, have in common a world of dreams and freedom.
