Welcome to the world of Blum Head Art, the embodiment of the spirit of American outsider art, founded by Steven Blum. Inspired by spontaneous emotion, Steven crafts vibrant canvases which showcase duality, complexity and juxtaposition.

American Outsider Art

The artistic journey of Blum Head Art has been heavily influenced by the ideals of Art Brut or ‘raw art’, a unique form pioneered by notable French painter, Jean Dubuffet. Drawing parallels to what many may recognize today as ‘outsider art’, this form of expression is unshaped by conventional training and characterized by a raw, naïve charm that is central to the Blum Head Art philosophy.

Jean Dubuffet, captivated by the uninhibited expressions of the mentally ill, championed the authenticity of such creative manifestations. This perspective deeply resonates with Blum Head Art. Today, the terms Art Brut and ‘outsider art’ have become intertwined, representing art created outside mainstream structures, including work by self-taught artists and unconventional mediums. American outsider art is where convention meets the unbridled spirit of raw creativity, a testament to the innate creativity in everyone.

Steven Blum, the artist behind Blum Head Art, creates art through spontaneous expression of human emotions - strength, weakness, happiness, sadness, madness, and sanity. As an outsider in a community of dedicated artists, Steven is passionate about the evolution of his work under the Blum Head Art brand.

He sees art as a dialogue, a shared experience between the creator and the observer. Whether the art speaks in whispers or bold declarations, he believes each creation is an invitation to explore the depths of raw, unfiltered expression.
