Environmental art
genre of art engaging nature and ecology / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Environmental art is a form of avant-garde contemporary art. It includes different types of artistic practices that involve nature, ecology, and social issues.[1][2]
It has changed over time, moving away from focusing on formal aspects, like using earth for large sculptures, and now explores deeper connections with natural systems, processes, and social concerns.[3]
In recent years, environmental art has gained significant attention and is often featured in exhibitions worldwide. This is because social and cultural aspects of climate change became more noticeable.
The term "environmental art" is often associated with ecological concerns, but it is not limited to them.[4] It primarily celebrates the artist's relationship with nature and often use natural materials.[1][2] It is closely related to historical earth and land art, as well as ecological art. Environmental artists draw inspiration from science and philosophy.
