Lowbrow

About Lowbrow

Lowbrow is stocked by Natterjacks, the UK retailer that offers free delivery on orders over £80. Its collection page puts the name in the context of the Lowbrow art movement, also called Pop Surrealism, which started in the Los Angeles area in the late 1960s. The movement drew on underground comix, punk music, tiki culture, graffiti and hot-rod culture, and is best described as character art with a sense of humour. It set out to take an unorthodox approach and defy art's rules, which brought pushback from significant figures in the art industry. Natterjacks also points to Justin "Boyishmind" Schwartz, whose quirky characters are inspired by the movement and have been sold as original artwork to a global fanbase.
