Named after French painter Jean Dubuffet’s definition of outsider art – art by prisoners, loners, the mentally ill, and other marginalized people, and made without thought to imitation or presentation – South London’s Art Brut were tagged by NME as part of the “Art Wave” scene that also included bands such as The Rakes, Franz Ferdinand and Bloc Party.
