#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.

I saw one picture from this creative couple(?) this morning and I just decide to google bit more. Yes, great idea, great realization as well. Very funny, satiric, ironic way to show ur hidden thoughts and conclusions.

[from mymodernmet]
Artistic duo Anna Gray and Ryan Wilson Paulsen use basic black text on white paper to convey their often comical messages relating to a wide variety of topics. The written works range from social commentary to self-reflective statements. The two-year-long 100 Posterworks project takes a straightforward black and white photography series with an equally simple concept, involving two deadpan subjects holding a banner, and manages to transform it into a really amusing collection of artistic reflection with a healthy dose of humor.

.smt about d trees_Anya Gallaccio:

I wanted to mention here today about Anya Gallaccio and her piece of installation called ‘That Open Space Within’ [2008] but I would make a small collection of her works cause I like pretty much d style that she use, create.. The topic that I use if u didn’t know till know is one of d main for me in general.

Born in Scotland, 1963, she lives and works in London, United Kingdom. Gallaccio is one of the leading British sculptors of her generation. Nominated for the Turner Prize in 2003, she graduated from Goldsmiths in 1988 and in the same year exhibited in Damien Hirst’s ‘Freeze’, the exhibition that brought together a generation of Young British Artists for the first time.

Anya Gallaccio with her sculpture That Open Space Within tries to bring d outdoor inside, to make d connection between this two environments.. as if nature has broken into the space pushing through d floor and walls. Using organic transient materials, Gallaccio’s intervention is impressive in its visual impact and physicality.

.She use to play with trees very often, voila' here we see some of them:
