"The Christian art I create is not an attempt to depict a likeness, nor an image of anything to be worshipped here on earth, or in heaven above. My art is created to point all people to Jesus Christ who is worthy of all of our honor, glory and praise.” Mark Lawrence
Mark creates "contemporary Christian abstract paintings" to spread the word of God through images from the text of the Bible. I consider this a social justice artist due to the fact he is trying to pread the word of something he believes in. Using images to signify text from the bible is a good way to get a view interested in how that person decodes the bible. In today's society, it seems like religion is more questioned.
I'm glad you added this. I forget that religious art is very much social justice art. This is beautiful. When scrolling through the images on your blog, this one caught my eye first.
