I think I know what's
comin'. We got a burgeoning spirituality on the horizon of our
society. It's there n it's growin. Mindfulness on the NHS.. Meditation in schools. (I am excited to see these kids grow up..!). It makes sense hence it's growin'.
Its nice to be nice. It's natural to love. Hence it's growin. It may
take time but it'll come in thru the door, eventually. When we allow
it. Because the arch of the moral universe is long but it bends
towards justice.
Contempt for this
modern society is where we're at. You see it all around. Fashion
advertisements fronted by sullen expressions. Holywood &
X-Factor, flogging dead horses to tired eyes. Contemporary art with
it's leanings towards disorder, chaos, & sometimes ugliness. The
absolute apathy to change abound.The decline of the West (Oscar
Spengler), these are seemingly the end days, were we put all that
former-prosperity to bed.
Right now contemp. Art seems all about edgyness & graffiti & messy paint & sullen expressions. Nah fuck that. That's like Topshop, frownin' down on us & on our faces too when we find ourself in their shirts.
But we'll get tired of
this contemptious outlook, and thus will be the trajectory. Inspired
will be the step forward. Love will be the landing place.
Art will help society
get there. Paint a picture of a pretty place & watch all birds
fly to it.
Art will help allow it.
Share a smile, see a smile.
Lets see a smile.
Not cus I'm dull &
unrealistic. Or ignoring the truth.
I see the truth and its
loooove! It's creativity. It's compassion. It's one big organism
prodding itself towards glory.
So I ain't talkin about
ignorance is bliss. Or turnin that frown upside down. Nothhiin
mechanical. All natural. Progressive & alive.
Pick up the baton of
impressionism! Lets take one step back, take a deep breath in and
cough sideways all the monotonous laboured speech of modern art. One
step back, & two ever-forward.
Lets see in the souls
of men the light that Monet painted.
Let us see the sadness
too! Sure, perhaps it'll be warming sadness, not sullen, 'whatcha
gunna do about it' loneliness.. Warming sadness, like the empathy
Dylan brings in yr ears as he sings n you agree-inside.
