| Description: |
When Makoto Fujimura painted as a child, he experienced a mysterious electrical charge that he later came to understand as the presence of his Creator. Through decades of painting, writing, and reflection, he has come to see art making as a discipline of awareness, prayer, and praise that reconnects us with our original light.
In Art Is, Fujimura shares his creative journey, revealing his process-driven "slow art," created with pulverized minerals, gold, and pigments made from oyster shells while reflecting on the natural world around him. He weaves together Japanese aesthetics, Christian theology, the art of tea, literature, ecology, and personal experience, drawing inspiration from William Blake, Mark Rothko, Josef Albers, Scripture, and the traditional Japanese painting technique of Nihonga.
The book invites readers to embrace art as a way of seeing the world through diverse, prismatic perspectives, offering beauty, hope, and wisdom for navigating today's fractured and divided world. |
