Outsiders On View March 28th-May 16th, 2026
Opening reception March 27th, 6:00-8:00pm
Hal Bromm gallery is pleased to present OUTSIDERS, an exhibition of works by Joey Tepedino, David Wojnarowicz, and Larry Stanton following Hal Bromm Gallery's participation in the 2026 Outsider Art Fair. The exhibition will be on view March 28 – May 16, 2026. An opening reception will be held March 27, 6-8pm.
OUTSIDERS features works by three Outsider Artists — Joey Tepedino, David Wojnarowicz, and Larry Stanton — whose practices emerge from deeply personal approaches shaped by lived experience and self-directed creative paths. Through drawing, painting, and mixed media, OUTSIDERS highlights the distinct visual languages that define each artist’s work.
Joey Tepedino is a Pennsylvania-based, self-taught artist whose work grows from a lifetime of compulsive doodling, only recently brought into the format of the canvas. Through recurring motifs and frenetic writing, Tepedino creates a visual language that allows him to navigate the extremity of his day to day emotions. David Wojnarowicz emerged as a prominent gay artist and activist in 1980s New York. His distinct and often politically charged visual style was driven by his lived experience of destitution and marginalization. Wojnarowicz developed an unapologetic mixed-media practice spanning painting, drawing, graffiti, film, photography, and written text. Larry Stanton was a self-taught portraitist and two-time art school dropout whose instinct-driven drawings and paintings documented the faces of New York’s queer community. His practice, which was built through daily public sketching, intimate observation, and personal networks, reflects a pivotal moment of gay life in New York during the emergence of the AIDS crisis.
Though their experience and output varies widely, each of these three artists embody a similar sensibility, one of unbridled expression not bound by traditional notions of fine arts. Their work is a declarative redefinition of what an artist is, and what one’s practice as an artist can be.
