Makoto Fujimura - The Art of "The Four Holy Gospels" from Crossway on Vimeo.
Makoto Fujimura is the quintessential advocate for fusing christian art into the mainstream and secular art world. He is an internationally recognized and well respected artist and public speaker on issues of culture and faith.
Twenty years ago, he founded IAM (International Art Movement) in New York City intending to help artists of various genres to introduce faith and creativity into the community. He leads a team of like minded visionaries to do just that through innovative conferences, events, and activities.
This short film depicts his latest project, an illumination of The King James version of the four gospels, as well as provides insight into topics dealing with the present christian and mainstream dichotomy . This short documentary addresses perceptions and challenges from the mainstream art world, as well as, skepticism from the church. It is insightful, smart, and entertaining. My favorite quote these days is cited in one of Makoto Fujimura's closing statements, "We have a language to celebrate waywardness, but we do not have a cultural language to bring people back home".
Amen, brother!
Be blessed! Be inspired!
