“Nature, Climate, Art” Exhibition
Bronx Art Space
This event has ended.
Nature, Climate, Art investigates the impact of climate change in our lives and in our environment, layering and addressing the role of nature as disparate and essential to our human condition. These five international artists work with environmental sensibility, using nature as inspiration, and draw from lore and tradition to create unique encounters between humans and their surroundings.
Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen (Norway/ Finland), photograph older people in their environments around the world, from the Arctic to the volcanic plateaus of southern Japan. Robin Rapoport (Canada/US), sculpts mixed media works pointing to environmental change, while Nozomi Rose (Japan/US), uses Japanese pigment to portray nature and landscape on canvas. Linda Cunningham (US), has investigated the Bronx waterfront in her mixed media works on paper, and her sculptures present organic nature. Juha Metso (Finland), a photographer and installation artist created a photography series of birds at the landfill showing the cycle of life and interconnectedness of humans and their environment.
