Disparities - The Collection: 10.5" x 12.5" |
John Dingler’s Disparities Collection indicts with passion and inspires with remarkable color.
Artist John Dingler's creativity seems to know no bounds, and is ne plus ultra of desperado artists. So how does John create his works that astound with color and provoke with thoughtful content worthy of a true revolutionary? For John, that challenge was met by absorbing knowledge from those left behind. “It seemed very natural to reduce inequality in politics and in quotidian society, so these fabulous works thrust into the world what I think are the ten most significant disparities what, once eliminated by means the passage of the 28th Amendment to the US Constitution to prohibit private wealth, replacing it with public financing, in political champaigns and in lobbying, these disparities should shrink to a manageable level,” he explains. A true colorist with a visionary flair, he is clearly a respected artist on the American continent and in Europe.
He continues, "Private wealth in political campaigns and in lobbying undermines what is left of democracy and is making normal people poorer. It funnels wealth up to the already wealthy. This should not be so. I even wrote the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution intended to prohibit private wealth altogether within those two segments of governmental practices: election campaign funding and in lobbying. I included a Robin Hood provision. It confiscates wealth from the 1% every ten years so that they can once again experience the exuberance of regaining it. The confiscated wealth would be redistributed to benefit the poor, especially to those living in the river bottoms and on sidewalks, in areas such as education, housing, and dental and medical care. You can read my amendment here." No mere maker of engaging, insular compositions, Dingler is a worldly artist whom we can all admire.

For artist John Dingler,
the limited-edition Disparities Collection is an exercise in pure storytelling. "It emerges out of a passion that I have as a thoroughly committed artist, from my European heritage, and an understanding of anti-democratic politics world-wide,” he says. This collection has so many colorfully rich stories, and he has tried to encapsulate the most significant of them here.
