A painting I did of Gandhi, King, and Mandela looks innocent enough. Why do you suppose it’s so dangerous? (The painting appears in the podcast episode artwork and at www.PaulsonArtShow.com.)
As it turns out, the painting represents a message that some people have been persecuted and even killed over. In the new art movement of the 21st Century — called Totalityism — my art is a catalyst for helping to root out racism by promoting greater peace, love, and unity. I’ve discovered that it can be dangerous to venture into the conversation about racism and equality. Some suggest I should quietly paint in my studio — portraits, iconic images, and colorful abstract and impressionistic paintings (which I enjoy doing) — and just be an artist.
To me, dangerous sermons and dangerous paintings include those where subjects such as racism, oppression, inequality, inequities of the poor, marginalization, and other social issues are addressed. These can be dangerous because they are polarizing. You can say I occasionally preach sermons via my podcasts (http://www.TotalityismPodcast.com) —but I may be able to make a more significant difference by painting dangerous paintings like the one featured in this article.
I have created a way for you to help WITHOUT it being dangerous for you. It’s to confidentially sign the “Peace, Love, & Unity Pledge,” short and sweet.
