Today I think I am Jesus Christ



Today I think I am Jesus Christ.
The Saviour of Africa but maybe it is just a phase.
I am more of a Reject than JESUS!
I have sacrificed myself far more than Christ, himself!
I have dedicated my life to the peoples of Africa.
Can Jesus say the same?

Today I think I am Lord and Savoir of the World.
Maybe this is just a silly little phase.
Would you believe me if I told you;
"I am the Saviour of the World?"
Did they believe Jesus when he was alive?
I am the Light of this WORLD..I am shining through.
Smiling to you all whilst you so quietly mock me...

I have been gifted with so many talents that I have yet to use.
You will never believe the man I am. You spit at me from behind your screens.
I am the God that you refuse to worship. I am the light of this world!
I want to wake you all up...Up to yourselves.
Point to the people you are dealing with.....
I want to wake you up to your full potential.
Insult you if I have to.

I want to wake the world up to it's full potential.
I wanna make you all see clearly.
I wanna feed the poor and heal the sick.
I wanna take my goodness everywhere.
I wanna tell you who I really am. Expose myself to all of you.
I am the Light of this World. You are merely players..

Producing art and selling it...Selling yourselves too short.
I know I will be deleted soon..Rejected yet again...
You fools what are we looking at here?
We are looking inside the most important Continent on our planet.
With all those sacred voices shouting.
We are looking into the heart of life on EARTH..
SO DON'T PLAY with these Africans..They are not to be played with....
They are the reason we exist at all.....

This is a Game that you are not playing. You've not even been invited.
Abused, used and shown to be moronic.
Can you see what I am looking at yet?
I can walk into Africa and steal chunks of History merely with my credit card.
Can you see what I can see....?
This is a Game that you have not even been aware of...
Too busy working, killing, starving and
playing with your kids and feeding yourselves
rotten to the core...
The importance of Culture is calling!
Can you see what I see...? Something needs to give.
Somebody needs to give and keep giving until Africa fines respect. 

I can control the world with this machine at my fingertips.
Define a Continent's History if I wish.
And off I go to some small country in Africa and
stealing History here and there..
because the Africans careless what I do...
just so long as I pay my way and pay their bloody bills....
What shall I rob this time on my journey out to Africa?
This is madness and you know it is...
Today, I am stealing 2010 in some Banana Republic.
Buying up chunks of African History...yum yum.

The irony is that I am on Welfare,
even so I can buy you all up.
Buy you all up with my credit card. 
Buying up Modern Histories
of all the glorious countries of Africa
simply with my credit card. No crunch for me,
I am too busy buying. Happy as can be.

I saw a show years ago called 100% African down in Bilbao..
Who is allowing these people a platform to speak about the AFRICANS...
"They know not what they say. My God will never forgive them."
They know exactly what they are doing and they are laughing in our faces.
We must save each and every country on this Continent.
Regardless of our Nigerianness we must see beyond these shores.
We must start to begin to see ourselves anew. To see ourselves important.
I am telling you this because I love you. There is no other reason to write.
Enough for now. I have made my point. I am putting down my pen.

Building Blocks



Title: Building Blocks
Date: 2010 to 2013
Material: Digital Art on Board
Size: 100cm x 50cm
Artist: Joe Pollitt
Signed and framed by the artist

Description:

Each image is actually one of the same but the emphasis is on the application and use of colour. The pattern changes depending on the colours used. All pictures and paintings are built up with layers of colours and defined by the black and white similar to literature. The paper is white and the words are black and through this basic medium we have created the simplest form of art, the written word. So the definition of a painting lies in the shadows of the works and it changes depending on the accent of lights and darks. The eyes are deceived and see either a flat two dimensional surface of are encouraged to see a more dynamic three dimensional structure evolving.

Repetition Series


Creating a work of art relies on three main elements: light, shape and colour. These are the building blocks of art. Once found and then placed in a series of repetitive layers we see a new movement and even a three dimensional pattern can appear of emerge. These are the architectural blocks that can create something new. Through these geometrical and random shapes new shapes occur naturally.
