The Art Newspaper: Gullah artist Sam Doyle’s narrative portraits shine at Outsider Art Fair in New York

One of the highlights of this year’s Outsider Art Fair in New York (until 22 March) is a series of paintings by the self-taught folk artist Sam Doyle. The 20 works on The Gallery of Everything stand come from the collection of the publisher Bob Roth, a co-founder of the Intuit Art Museum in Chicago, which is dedicated to outsider and self-taught art. Prices range from $35,000 to $85,000. Doyle was a self-taught artist from Saint Helena Island, South Carolina, born into a Gullah family in the US Lowcountry, a remote region of islands, marshes and rivers where descendants of enslaved Africans preserved rich linguistic and cultural traditions.
