Answer:
Undoubtedly Nek Chand can be hailed as the true crusader in the field of ‘art brut’ or ‘raw art’ or ‘outsider’s art’. ‘Art brut’, which means ‘the art of those who have ‘no right’ to be artists as they have received no formal training, yet show talent and artistic insight. They are artists who think out of the box. Their works are totally different from those of their predecessors. In simple terminology this art can be called ‘unorthodox art.’
Nek Chand’s creation is a master creation, Rock Garden at Chandigarh is considered to be the most marvelous creation of this type of art. U.K. Based magazine Raw Vision featured Nek Chand and his Rick Garden on its anniversary issue. UNESCO also honored him by holding exhibitions of his works, titled as Realm of Nek Chand in Switzerland, Belgium, France and Italy.
