What We Are Doing To Our Environment

Depths of Criticism

Chris Jordan’s images are evoking and really brings to a wake up call to what we are doing to our environment, or even ourselves. Every time you zoom in from a large scale image, you realize it is made out of a certain entity.

The artist is using many objects together to create beautiful textures and shapes that represent certain disturbing facts and statistics. The statistics that Jordan provides are astonishing: with the number of paper cups that we use each day, number of prisoners in the states, deaths from smoking, breast augmentation, and many more… It is amazing how us human beings are not aware of all the things we are consuming each day and being so careless to how it will affect our planet or even ourselves. Jordan’s creation in these large scale photographs are to show how unconscious we are of our surrounding and culture.

Environment Artist Tanya Preminger

Tanya Preminger’s environmental art is both beautiful and smart. In the past few years Preminger has been very active in the fields of environmental art and land art, striving to connect people to nature, and improve the modern culture’s relationship with the natural world. For this purpose she established the Green Gallery Group, which works in the fields of Arsuf Kedem, displays annually a large collection of environmental art works made from natural materials, and speaks about the human contemporary connection to mother-nature. Her art is usually ephemeral, site-specific, and characterized by simplicity and a healthy sense of humor. The materials vary from Earth, wood, bamboo, plants and tree branches, and agricultural waste.
