James Havard draws from Native American, African tribal and outsider art for his abstract figurative style which evokes the psychological renderings of a dream. The American artist was known as a pioneer of “abstract illusionism” in the 1970s before a major shift in style, which aligned his aesthetic more with Art Brut. His raw and expressive brushstroke technique brings a vulnerable and emotive quality to his work.
