The Inside Out Artist

By night, Bryant Rousseau is an editor at The New York Times. By day, he is an Inside Out conceptual artist, working across painting, drawing, artificial intelligence, photography, sculpture, video and sound.

What’s an Inside Out artist?

Like any Outsider artist, Rousseau is entirely self-taught (which may be all-too apparent). But he is also deeply schooled in art history and intimately aware of trends in contemporary art (a knowledge he tries to have some fun with). It is this unique inside-out combination that, he hopes, makes his art distinctive.

He invites you to laugh with him — or by all means, to laugh at him — as viewing pleasure is ultimately the point of the work.

There’s a lot to see: More than 3,800 works in over 100 conceptual series. Each series is based on a core idea, which allows for endlessly imaginative iterations (fingers crossed).

While the work is grouped in traditional artistic categories like paintings and drawings, it is also organized across various themes, like Language (which is, after all, how he pays the bills), Materials, Magic, Numerology and Art for Under $100.

And if you’re a parent, or an uncle/aunt, or an interior designer with clients with children, be sure to check out the Kids section: more than 1,000 G-rated works that grade schoolers will like and may inspire some creative thinking, hanging on their walls.

Enjoy.
