Beautiful Losers

Follow a group of like-minded American artists who emerged from the underground in the early 1990s to have an enormous impact on the worlds of fashion, film, art, music, and pop culture in general. With virtually no connection to the mainstream art world, the ten artists featured in 'Beautiful Losers' somehow managed to become the strongest creative voices of their generation. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip-hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the "establishment" art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, symbolise a collective movement that sings the praises of nonconformity.
