The Quirky, Bold, Funny and Sometimes Prophetic Art of @landgallery

An acrylic painting of a young Michael Jackson. A greeting card featuring Olivia Newton-John and a pilgrim zombie. An Alice Cooper Christmas ornament. These are just some of the pieces of artwork on display at LAND Gallery (@landgallery), a workspace and gallery for a group of artists — including Myasia Dowdell, Michael Pellew and Kenya Hanley — with developmental disabilities in Brooklyn, New York. “The art is quirky, bold, funny, strange, astute, at times prophetic, and exuberant,” says Sophia Cosmadopoulos (@sophiacosmo), the gallery coordinator. “Through it we are able to get a rare glimpse of this unique perspective.” Many would characterize this work as “outsider art,” but Sophia often captions it “insider art” as well, to indicate its broader significance. “Their art is just as compelling and should be included.”
