New Brow - The Movie


This looks to be an interesting movie/documentary on the art movement they like to call "new-brow." There are alot of different terms used to describe the art I like - low brow, pop surrealism, narrative, character based, contemporary, urban... Guess they haven't really settled on something yet. It seems though some artists I talk to don't like the term low-brow because it was originally meant to be a derogatory term and conjures up images of tattoo art, rock band posters, etc... So, I don't know what to call it. For now, I will still use Low Brow, but perhaps High Brow is a better term (although movie trailers seems to suggest that they will lump Street Art into that term as well.)

Check this trailer.
