About the Know Art Collective.
Our work embodies the struggle for personal and social empowerment. Empowerment is represented by the options and alternatives that the art offers. It is art that can be transformed, just like we can transform communities and the planet.
An empowered individual like an empowered community has options.
This art gives the spectator options.
Know art is empowerment art that gives viewers options to make the art theirs. It allows the audience to bring out other protagonists in the paintings. In a literal sense, this art empowers the beholder.
Empowerment means to have, create, and excersise options. This art allows that.
It is an effort to reflect life and the struggle to improve the self and family, the community and the world. This art transforms much like how we are trying to transform the world.
This is not the Old School of Art, This is not the New School either. This is the Know Art School.
