Remix Collective

We are a collective of artists who make sophisticated Outsider-type artwork. Each artist‘s work shows aspects of Outsider Art but it is not Folk art or artwork made in isolation. Our artwork is outside the mainstream of art in Canada, particularly that seen in Canadian commercial galleries. It often has, but isn’t limited to having, political or sociological content and it is not influenced by the contemporary art school and MFA aesthetic. Some of our members have no formal art education and are self-taught. Others have art school and MFA backgrounds but do not follow in that tradition. Our members come from different backgrounds and life experiences.

We make art that is true, genuine, and unique. Aspects of our work we hold in common are the use of recycled materials, the emphasis on Collage and Assemblage, and the freedom to do any type of work we wish to do. Above all we avoid being constrained.
