But when Arthur took his perspectives off the canvas and onto social media, he discovered the hatred that our culture has for masculinity, as well as for boundaries, discipline, and order \u2014 all essential characteristics of great art.\nThat sent Arthur on a journey that's taken him from cancellation by the art scene into the Manosphere, where he\u2019s made more than a just name for himself, but a home.\nIn our conversation we discussed:\nHis origins in the gallery world and how he developed his style\nHow masculinity generates respect of boundaries\nHow the arts world is just an arm of the state\nWhy more wealthy conservatives aren't funding engines of cultural production\nAn announcement of his upcoming year-long sabbatical\nAnd finally a visual analysis of several of Arthur paintings through various stages of his career\nIt's been deeply inspiring to me to see the timeless values of religion, art, and personal style making their way further into the Renaissance. This is truly becoming a remarkable movement, one which every day I'm becoming prouder to be a part of.\nBecause aesthetics lift us up to the divine, and bring the divine down to Earth, which is everything I'm about, as I hope you can see, and which Arthur captures so vividly in his paintings.\nNEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNU-VBfZw9FOCeqc76YDn5w\nPAINTINGS REFERENCED:\n\u201cThe Agony and the Ecstacy\u201d \u2013 view here\nAll other paintings:\nhttps://www.arthurkwonlee.com/paintings/\n\u201cAll and Everything\u201d\u201cApex I\u201d\u201cColossal Youth\u201d\u201cKingdom Come\u201d\nLINKS:\nFollow Arthur Kwon Lee on Instagram and Twitter\nArthurKwonLee.com\nGenesisCouncil.com\nSex and Culture - JD Unwin\nPastor Michael Foster\nPraxis Of Man\nTHE RENAISSANCE OF MEN\nVisit http://renofmen.com\nFollow the Renaissance of Men on Instagram and Twitter","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/077d5416-18ed-4332-a23d-bbdca2b970df/j_NeNa4rnItxJ1OYds7sRGv3.jpg"}
