MUST WATCH FILM: Graffiti Artists Vs. GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms)

Featuring artist MEAR ONE, who was introduced in a previous post, along with other graffiti artists in California (Vyal One, Werc, Griffin One, and Ernest Doty) standing against GMOs using their talent. Very informative and impressive video.

"We're literally just a science experience for them.  They're like, well, we're not really sure what it [GMOs] does so lets just feed it to them and make a few million dollars and in the end we'll figure out what works and what doesn't.  In the end they've already made their money."

"Some of California's dopest graffiti artists -- Mear One, Vyal One, Werc, Griffin One, and Ernest Doty -- have created high-impact murals to raise awareness for the labeling of Genetically Modified"

MUST SEE ARTIST: MEAR ONE

I came across artist MEAR ONE today.  Definitely someone to check out as his political graffiti and talent give much to think about.  Check out his facebook here to keep following.

"I am a story teller, a thinker and I use paint to express my thoughts first and foremost. I am a sculptor, a writer, and a lover of the experience that blesses us all as a gift, life." - MEAR ONE

Fueled by Greed

Rise Up Humanity

Beware! America is dying to kill you, or get paid for every step you take

Lesser of Two Evils

 As this is a rather ambiguous painting, I'm including some of the posts from facebook that MEAR ONE posted himself to shed some light on his expression.  There were a lot of posts with many different interpretations as you might imagine. 

"I have an intention but I find your take[s] more intreaging. To get it you have to look deep into the language of art and symbolism. Enjoy and see what you will." 

"I'm talking about the corporate face that is a mask, everyone wears it at one point or another, metaphor." 

"So I believe the trick or the mystery behind door number 2 is the man behind the curtain. I like Obama but I recognize he is a puppet of a broken system. A two partied system. Democracy... sure more like NDAA. Wake up." 

"The meaning is how external forces play at a persons will till they are just a mask for what goes on behind the scenes."

"Revolution," 2012

Lastly, in dedication to his mother and women alike, he tributes this painting "Revolution" for International Women's Day (last Friday) and asks that his fans share this as their facebook profile picture in honor and celebration all month long.

"Join me today and all month long in celebrating the working rights, indeed human rights, of women everywhere by sharing "Revolution" as your new facebook profile picture."  

"Today, being International Women's Day, I am honoring the struggles my mother, and countless women around the world and throughout history have endured. I honor their greatness, beauty, and intelligence, paying them the respect that all human beings inherently deserve with my 2012 silk screen, 'Revolution.'"
