Art meets humanism and secularism in seculARTism-project
Buy art – do good!
Hyvinkää, Finland: Finnish artist Pete Alander has launched his personal charity project seculARTism to sell art and to donate commission for selected secular and humanist charity organisations.
Alander, is best known for his work as a graphic designer and digital artwork. His abstract style and spectrum of art hails influences from early times of modernism, secular ideology and even his passion for hard rock and heavy metal music. Abstract forms and myriad of details can be seen in his works as geometrical visual punch lines such as triangles, elliptical objects and twirls.
The idea of seculARTism is to sell his artworks from PeteAlander.com website and give 15% profit to selected charity organisation from each sold piece of art.
“seculARTism is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It was just a case of where, when and with whom. I tried to cover best options from various charity organisations to donate commissions. I am also hoping to have contacts with World’s leading atheist minds who can spread the word of seculARTism-project.” Pete states.
Pete Alander speaks for atheism, humanism and secularism through his artwork. To his words, there’s no place for disinformation or organized religions in a world today. “Personally I believe, the key to the survival of human species and to maintain morally healthy evolution is simply to stop believing in magic men or any superstitious entities and to take responsibility of ourselves. We need to start taking care of this planet to save it and us. In modern civilization there is a demand to base our life for reason, science, logic, rationality and have fun while living it.”
“When religions ends, world healing can begin. I hope I can make a difference or even a minor impact.”
Working as a design teacher for over 20 years Pete Alander believes into the power of education. “Education should be free, self-evident and available for every single human being in the entire world. Where there is education, there is wisdom. Wisdom prevents ignorance.“ he states.
Pete Alander was born in Hyvinkää city, Southern Finland and grew up to be a graphic design entrepreneur and a teacher of visual communications. He has Master’s Degree of Culture and Arts and qualification of Professional Special Needs Teacher. As a designer he has gained success in a world of music business working with bands and musicians around the world. In charity work he has previously worked with We Are One -project against extreme poverty and homelessness. Pete has also been working with brand identities, print and web design, photography and video. His pedagogical work and experience as a design teacher in vocational and university level has also left a mark to his work of art and ideology. Currently he works as a teacher, an artist, an entrepreneur, a journalist and as a designer.
