PRIVILEGE

48" X 48"

ACRYLIC, INK, CANVAS

NICHOLAS CONLON, 2016

The idea is there, right in front of you, even if you can't see it. It's there you just have to look in the right light. You just need to see it from a different angle. White rifle on white canvas. This "piece" represents the world in which we live in now. Perhaps truth and blindness. It is white on white. It is the antithesis to the title. Even though it seems so clear it is very difficult to see. Privilege is invisible to the naked eye, but, sometimes it's right in front of us and sometimes we excercise it as if it were a right we have earned. The only privilege we should have is kindness to one another. I did this piece to go into someones home or place of business to remind them and anyone who encounters it that even though you can not see it, it is there. You can not ignore it. Accept it and use it for goodness. Privilege. Signed in white in lower right corner on 1.5 inch museum quality canvas
