| Description: |
When Makoto Fujimura painted as a child, he felt a mysterious electrical charge pass through him. Over decades of art making, writing, and reflecting, he has come to understand this charge as his Creator, a source he connects with when making art. Fujimura believes that art making is a discipline of awareness, prayer, and praise by which we journey back to our original light.
Fujimura takes readers along on his meandering journey. We witness him making his "process-driven slow art", using pulverized minerals, gold, or pigments made from oyster shell, as he considers the plants and wildlife on the land where he lives. He draws on Japanese aesthetics, modernist art, Christian theology, sado (art of tea), literature, ecology, and personal narrative, with inspiration ranging from William Blake's poetry to the art of Mark Rothko and Josef Albers, and from the wisdom of Scripture to the traditional Japanese painting technique called Nihonga.
Art Is invites us to see the world in prismatic and diverse lights, helping us navigate the fractured, divisive times in which we live. |
