Erik White calls this work “Gravitational Art.” His style, similar to the effect of Jackson Pollock, showcases the the movement of paint as a result of the pull of gravity. He states, “The movement of the paint pulled by gravity is a frozen record of the force that holds our world together. The paint is a visual representation of those invisible vibrations.”
White is also a political activist. He created The Obama Bill (see image above) in an effort to address his view on current political and economic issues. The following is an excerpt from his essay on The Obama Bill:
This painted ten-dollar bill is an artistic representation of the connections that I have been able to uncover in my research, painted to expose the international corporate bankers who control our money system for their own benefit. When Barrack Obama was elected to the Presidency, like many Americans I was excited. Then he appointed Timothy Geithner to be the Secretary of the Treasury, and it became clear to me that America was not going to see the change it had been promised. Since the election I have been doing research to uncover the hidden forces behind the American political system. The more I have learned, the more evidence I uncover, the more an ominous picture emerges, of shadowy forces, working behind the scenes, to shape and control our world.
It is difficult to discover the truth of some of these claims. But there is significant evidence pointing toward the validity of many of them. The Obama Bill is painted to lead us toward the truth of these most pressing issues, and to let us live freely in the light of knowledge. Only by exposing the lies can the truth be known. Only truth will give us justice. I want to live in a good world, and the current structure of today’s global banking empire makes that impossible. My hope is that this Bill and its images will lead people to explore the lies that surround us, and find truth in each other. We must hold these international bankers and politicians responsible for the land and wealth they have stolen from the people of the world for centuries, only then will we have justice.
