# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Art Brut (Style, 1945–) and its accent from Art Informel (Style, 1945–1960). Structural cues: A surface filled with no margin left; Private systems of letters and signs; Exhaustive reuse of the materials to hand; A self-sufficient world built by repetition. Accent cues, used sparingly: Traces of impasto and scratching; Stains that never settle into form; A range of earth and ash tones; Tears and exposure of the support. Composition: Fill everything: no margin, no hierarchy, the field worked edge to edge at one density.. Type and lettering: A hand-drawn alphabet used consistently, its own rules kept even where they are inconvenient.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Impasto, plaster and tar in earth and ash tones on thick paper, scraped and torn. Mood: Intimacy, Rebellion, Play, Technology, Nostalgia. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Art Brut: Faking the naivety with a wobbly font and some scribble: the force of this work comes from a real and internally consistent system, and imitation reproduces only its tics.
# - Art Informel: Avoid faking the texture with clean digital filters—the style lives on real material resistance, and simulated grunge reads instantly as decor.
