Recreating Materials: Nature as an Artistic Element
摘要
From a very early age, we understood that nature is a key element present in all artistic forms. Whether as a theme and motif or as a material, artists have always had a strong connection to nature. Landscape, as a term, becomes the driving force for artists to continue working with it, and it is constantly evolving. The nature we know and encounter today, is not the same as it was in past centuries, but over the years it has always brought relevant stimulation and discussion. Today nature should be a place for learning about its own limits, where the artist should not be an intruder taking unbridled advantage, but rather someone who puts the conscious use of resources into perspective. We therefore think of the materials used in the field of fine arts as an engine for research and recreation. Since they have multiple possibilities for adaptation, a material that at the beginning of its production was conceived for one purpose only, is now examined, broadening its possibilities of response to different application situations, while seeking to achieve sustainable production. In this research, the construction of drawing materials is tested for application on different supports than usual, creating mental landscape that dialogue with the space in which they are found.
