Okay, lowbrow art is in my mind one of the sexiest, coolest forms of art out there. What makes it so sexy is what it ain't, highbrow art. Yeah, I know, clear as those globs of paint you smeared with your hands in kindergarten until it turned the color of mud.
Well, let me put it this way, to make those brows raise you have to go to school for a few years and come out saying things like "the dicotomy of the juxtoposition of conflicting iconic elements". To lower those brows you just get busy doing it your way without the education in B.S. A good dose of kustom kulture, hot rod lovin' pin-up tattoo style is good spice to add to the mix. Because lowbrow has become so cool all the system educated artists wanted in on the action so the mutant child of highbrow and lowbrow art was born and it was called Pop Surrealism.
Here's a lowbrow art history lesson.

An excellent link to check out the book Pop Surrealism; The Rise of Underground Art.
