Destination Brooklyn for a stroll through the streets of Bushwick, one of the epicenters of New York Street Art. The neighborhood of Bushwick is an old industrial enclave undergoing gentrification, following a few years after its neighboring neighborhood of Williamsburg. Its configuration offers a privileged playground for street artists who have taken over the facades and iron gates of the warehouses and abandoned buildings.
Yann Le Berre aka L’outsider has long practiced urban art and it is now in Brittany that he has set up his studio, in former agricultural buildings transformed into a space for creation and artistic experimentation, offering the possibility of hanging the works, especially the large formats, to appreciate the scenography.
From urban art to the workshop
In his artistic research, Yann L’outsider plays with the dualities that constitute his path. His orientation towards working in the studio, about ten years ago, inevitably transformed the conditions of creation, placing the artist in a different temporal context, turning him towards more standardized mediums, yet Yann L’outsider continues to seek to recreate the state of stillness, urgency, imbalance, or even discomfort that may have stimulated the creative momentum in urban environments.
