Land sculpture art works by Andy Goldsworthy

Andy Goldsworthy was born in England in 1957. Goldsworthy’s art belongs to the Land Art movement that began in the 1960s: opposing the square frame that limited landscape paintings, or The outdoor sculptures and murals used in parks and in front of government agencies use nature as tools, materials, and themes to express the natural environment destroyed by industrial progress and the retribution of karma. Influenced by the British artist Richard Long at Preston Polytechnica Art College, Goldsworth developed a strong interest in land art and decided to create with existing materials around him to explore the relationship between civilization and nature. relation. Due to the use of natural materials, his works appear to be very harmonious with the surrounding environment, almost like a part of nature; but the static geometric shapes that stay in the space, the colors and lines that contrast strongly with nature, are more like A phenomenon that violates the laws of nature.

Look for natural artistic raw materials in nature, use flowers, ice, leaves, pine cones, snow, stones, branches, thorns and other elements to create natural "sculptures". The artist does not try to change nature to reflect the greatness of human power. His works are often short-lived creations. Any slight changes in nature will lead to changes in the works, and even cause the works to cease to exist. Through documentation, Goldsworthy records change, showing people the great power of nature and the transience and insignificance of human existence.
