Equals

SOLD

Racism permeates society on many levels –
From a distance we may simply see black and white;
And perhaps perceive each other as equals.
A closer look and this is not the case…
What is race? Does it exist?
Only as a creation of human imaginings.
(Toni Kingstone 2020)

Throughout history, the separation between art and political commentary, implicitly or even explicitly has been, at best, thin. Artists are not immune to the context within which they bring their insights and skills to bear. From Picasso’s Guernica, to Banksy street murals, art plays across the contours of the central thread of life.
Featured here is a startling, powerful composition, Equals, from Welcome Swallow Gallery artist Toni Kingstone. She has responded to recent global race and gender issues with a black and white acrylic, resin and collage piece of work that hews out of text, the simple statement “There is only one race, the human race”.

My work is largely inspired by nature - I create peaceful representations that the viewer can connect with emotionally, drawing them into place of calm contemplation.
