#landart by d master – different way of feeling d #nature

hello, hi there, it’s been 12 years since I first wrote about Andy Goldsworthy here. quite long, isn’t it? this blog has been around for a long time, d problem is that u may have forgotten is that my last post here was eight years ago! 🙂

iHope that u`re doing well all these years and that there are still active readers among those who were here with me a decade ago. Let’s enjoy together the works of the fascinating creators of #landart – Andy Goldsworthy.

:Andy Goldsworthy has been present on d world #art scene for so many years for a reason, he is one of d best land art artists who has made a shift in d experience of art with his works. it showed a symbiosis between d refined and the natural, d organic & pure holy artistic, precise touch. in harmony with d existing, he creates pieces of transcendent balance with d extraterrestrial, d cosmic.

although d works/ masterpieces are subject to decay, transient, with a shelf life, he creates an excellence that melts with d beauty of d moment. as he himself says: “The biggest failure is to make a work that is safe, that doesn’t take a risk. I’m taking big risks with no safety net.”

Andy Goldsworthy is one of the world’s most renowned site-specific artists. In 2005, Smithsonian Magazine named him one of 35 people “who made a difference”, saying that he uses “nature as his canvas [to create] work of transcendent beauty.”

Born in 1956, Goldsworthy spent his childhood in Yorkshire, England. His work has been featured in a diverse array of open air spaces from the Yorkshire Dales to the North Pole and the Australian Outback. His works in the Bay Area include Stone River at Stanford University and Drawn Stone at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. Goldsworthy draws his inspiration from place and creates art from the materials found close at hand, such as twigs, leaves, stones, snow, and ice, striving “to make connections between what we call nature and what we call man-made.”

regardless of whether he works with stones, branches, ice, three-dimensional, with reflection, on d ground, in water or in d air, he creates meditative spaces that change d viewer’s attention depending on the psychological articulation. his famous installations like: Spire, Wood Line, Tree Fall, and Earth Wall – created here between 2008 and 2014, declared him as a leader in his discipline/ category, even wider.
