Finishing off this week’s feature with Angela Gonzalez ’s “BIOS 2.0.”
BIOS – Basic Input Output System calls attention to trees and their role as the “lungs” of our planet. Global warming is the result of excess greenhouse gases, man-made emissions yielded from activities such as burning fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas, along with deforestation and destruction of tropical rainforests.

Continuing our feature for Angela Gonzalez with her piece, “Deleted.”
Deleted is an artwork about the species extinction crisis our planet is facing. The Golden Toad, the first documented species extinction attributed to global warming, has become a symbol of the consequences of climate change. Although the extinction of the Golden Toad has generated ambiguous scientific arguments about the reason for its death, the reality is that biodiversity is being threatened by climate change.

Finishing off this week’s feature with ’s “La Tour Eiffel Dans Ma Pensee.”
He strongly believes there is beauty in imperfection, we are all imperfect in our own way, and this philosophy is certainly reflected in his unconventional approach to sculptures, drawings, or any multimedia he comes across. In his practice, he does not try to hide the imperfections, in fact, he relies on them to create an original work of art that cannot be duplicated, not even if he tried. This work is made with cloth hangers, inspired by the artist's travels.
Please give Sergio a follow at and check out his work on the EcoArt Showcase!
07/13/2022

We’re starting off this with EcoArtist !

We’re closing out ‘s feature with a bang!
Her “South Bronx Waterfront Saga“ incorporates torn edges of canvas sections stretching 24 1/2 ft across the museum’s lobby wall. The torn edges of bifurcated sheets of canvas and shards of information echo a broken South Bronx history, an urban renewal tragedy, in an area that was once once the retreat of choice for fresh air, heath and greenery.

Above is a stunning installation titled, “Edge of Change” by our
Cunningham’s work is concerned with time, transience and contradictions, and she gravitates to architectural and structural remnants of current and previously existing cultures. She often poses the veracity of the photo-based transferred images against interpretive, fluid calligraphic drawing line and form.

06/27/2022
Take a look at our newest , !
Layers of torn edges and severed forms distinguish Linda Cunningham’s large format drawing/ constructions. The tactile sensibility of her work comes from her interest in the qualities of materials, observed or found. She transforms found materials, a kind of “Urban Mining,” and preserves the qualities of found materials with the material history inscribed in their surface.
Check out her profile on the EcoArt Showcase for more photos of her other beautiful projects.

We’re closing out our feature with .bernard.singer ’s “Cosmogony” installation.
Christian’s work turns on notions of consciousness, identity (including Q***r identity), place, and time-passing as a way to explore his relationship to the natural world and our present environmental crisis. His works have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout Canada and parts of the United States and published in 20 catalogs and books.
Christian will have an upcoming solo exhibition at the Quest Art Gallery in Midland (Ontario, Canada), opening July 10 that will feature these works and include a return to a large installation (this time a series of hanging nests).
06/22/2022
Continuing .bernard.singer ’s feature with a picture from his Cabinets of Curiosity series.
Curator Virginia Eichhorn wrote: "The exhibition created by Christian Bernard Singer references the intersection of European and First Nations cultures – using symbols for dances and languages as “spelled” out in the clay – and questions the European ‘cult’ of the ‘exotic. His work raises issues dealing with the dichotomies of love and money, art and value, possession and renunciation, and reflects critically on the past and current condition of museums while looking toward possibilities in the future and the mutable nature of understanding and appreciating differences in art and culture."
To see more from Christian, make sure to check out his profile on our website!
06/20/2022
I’m excited to announce this week’s , .bernard.singer, a Canadian artist who has incorporated mosses, pine needles and other organic materials with glass, clay, bronze, found objects, and video into eco-installation-environments, land artworks and sculptures.

We’re adding to our feature with images from Joana Alarcão‘s “Where is the Missing Character?”
As Joana has looked at climate awareness and what it is the role of culture, nature and being behind past and current events, she always comes across realities and theories that privilege one of these elements over another, making arguments not entirely true.
