How Does Uribe Convey The Beauty Of Nature?

The theme of this exhibition is the environment and the earth. The artist try to find a method that intuitive and labor-intensive from different cultural and geographical location in the processing of materials and narrative images. The most interesting artwork is 'Universal Cobra Pussy’(2011). It was done by Shuvinai Ashoona (a contemporary artist in Dorset County) and Shary Boyle (he is mainly focus on the aspect of sculpture, painting and performance). This picture uses ink, gouache and coloured pencil to show me a vivid story. It gives me unique insights of how “creatures and earth” effect other creatures. The top half part of the picture is the colorful painting and the dumping of status. The artists use two spiders with apple and a long

In order to compose this assignment, I visited the University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum (CAM). The USF Contemporary Art Museum is a compact museum on campus located near the Dance buildings and the Theatres. The museum opened its establishment in 1989 and has offered a wide range of art from around the world including the United States, Africa, Europe, and Latin America (usfcam.usf.edu). In order to keep students engaged in the art, the museum changes its exhibits a couple times a year. Currently, the exhibition on display is entitled Extracted and incorporates “the extraction and circulation of natural resources around the globe” (Megan Voeller). Despite the museum being not large in size, I was able to attain a sense of nature through photographs, sculptures, video messages, and banners produced from artists including Otobang Nkanga, Marina Zurkow, Claire Pentecost, Mary Mattingly and Daniel Shiffman. The social angle most strongly related to the exhibit on display at this time is nature and culture. Extracted was motivated by relationships between humans and the environment referring to “complex technical processes behind oil drilling and mining or industrial agriculture” (Megan Voeller). Most of the artists focus their work on nature including the environment, ecosystems, and life itself.

In the article Social Justice and the City, it explains how the relationship man has with nature is an important one. This article talks about how over the years man has neglected this very important relationship. Today’s society is so much more focused on materialistic things and not so much the beautiful sights of nature. This shows how much has changed from the time urban cities were created. It is almost as if we take nature for granted.

Martin Wittfooth, born in 1981, is not only an illustrator, but a fine artist as well. He earned his MFA (Master of Fine arts) at the school of Visual Arts in New York City. Wittfooth’s oil paintings explore themes of industry and nature, evolution, comparison of old ideologies and modern fears, and the growth of human nature on Earth itself; these themes are recognized through symbolism, allusions, issues, and fears. His work, without a doubt, has the ability to engage both the eye and the mind of the viewer.

The most important characteristic that these photos share is the implication of longevity and a continuation of understanding. In a sense, they represent timeless images. Conversely, they also seem to reinforce the notion that careful conservation should be more prominent, even while presenting nature as strong and magnificent. Both artists seem infatuated with the balance between the strength and fragility of nature. The very concept of nature is one that every living being on Earth can relate to in some degree. Thus, these photographs also represent universal themes that we can always understand. These photos may be interpreted differently by individuals from future eras,

I would like to emphasize my research experience with double classification objects, like religious effigies considered as heritage and “cultural goods”, which must be preserved according to rational techniques of museum conservation and exhibition, as well as items of popular devotion and affective "care" by their devotees. My study was conducted in the city of Ouro Preto, Brazil, designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its Baroque architecture, and regionally known by its dramatic Holy Week celebrations, which mobilizes many locals and tourists. During my fieldwork, I noticed the religious images are taken from churches, which are also museums, for ritual purposes and, once in the streets, they assume the roles of the protagonists

Landscape photography is often considered a metaphor for something else. The experience of nature through photographs is often sublime and evokes feelings of overwhelming magnitude and awe, feelings often provoked by the boundless essence drawn from the power of landscape. This essay will investigate the Edward Burtynsky’s photographic series, Oil, and his approach to find a sinister beauty within the damned. The underlying metaphors poised within Burtynsky’s work in regard to environmental change, in pursuit to document nature transformed through industry will be the central idea in this argumentative dissertation.

I have always been an outdoors’s kind of person and I absolutely love how artist manipulates what’s around them with space, scenery, landscapes and natures given gifts in a way that is beneficial for the community around and for the sake of the environment to be resourceful with nature and energy. I chose to go to Laumeier Sculpture Park, because I have never been there and to be honest never even heard of the place till this assignment gave me the option to visit for my paper. While I was at Laumeier Sculpture Park, I found myself one with nature; I got to walk trails, read about these different sculptures, and loved that never knew what I was about ready to see around the corner with the abundant of unique and very different sculptures. There’s

The continuous struggle to break ground on new revolutionary creative practices has led artists down unsuspecting paths, often subject to great controversy. Bioart has become a recent trend in contemporary art circles; in collaboration with biologists, anthropologists etc it appropriates organic mechanisms as a medium for art. This emerging field, provocative and inspiring, exposes technical, procedural and ethical issues. Art has become an impetus to the nature – culture dichotomy and this has never been as evident as it is today. Human and Earth systems have collided and fused, as a result, a separation of the two is near impossible. Eduardo Kac, amongst others such as Stelarc or Orlan, is a kind of flagship of this new epoch of the Anthropocene.

Western art for many years regarded nature as a thing created for man’s welfare. The West had the tendency to classify, rank and

By using a more ideological approach rather than a stylistic one, these artists also managed to shine a light on the wastefulness of western over-production. When I use discarded material, it makes me think about the story of the previous owner’s story but it also reminds me of the amount of waste each of produce, especially in regards to clothing and fabric.

The art shown in this exhibit is a very accurate representation of the Industrial revolution with many of the pieces representing a new era of innovation. Industrialization improved transportation, created a national economy, and trade! Along with this amazing revolution came the factory system which took advantage of new technology and machines to produce high-quality products faster than ever! All of this and more is shown in the images below!

“What is a human but a cosmic spec of semi-wanderlust” (industrialization). This obscure yet fascinating excerpt extracted from the short poem, “industrialization”, presents the concept of how frivolous human-kind is compared to the incalculable and boundless limits of the universe. Therefore, the theme that “Soft Rains” and “industrialization” holds is how the ostensible powers that human-kind possess over this planet scantily affects the palpable fact that nature will always be predominate over human-kind.

In chapters two and three of The Meaning of Modern Art, Karsten Harries describes two ways that the relationship between man and nature is understood, and how these understandings are evident in the changing artistic styles and philosophical themes of the time. Harries describes two ways of seeing man’s relationship with nature. Either nature is beneath man’s reason, and thus art must reconstruct nature “in the image of reason” or man’s relationship with nature is one of intense conflict, in which time and nature conquer man, and only by submitting to nature’s oppressive force can man find some victory (Harries 17). In the latter view man is able to “escape into his own self and there hear the voices of the gods; in the midst of life he

Throughout many works of literature there is a conflict between man and nature. There are classics such as The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway and Lord of the Flies by William Golding, that show a very clear line that divides man from nature, and how nature is for the most part the enemy. However, in other stories, the line between civilization and nature is blurred. Stories such as True West by Sam Shepard, The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, and “The Rememberer” by Aimee Bender display examples of how the two distinct world of the civilized and the wild can cross into one another.
