Eco art is an environmental art or ecological art which is created by artist who are concerned about local and global environment Situation. So, We have one option Recycling.
Can we Re-use those materials which may harm our environment like plastic and some metals?
Think something creative it will help to convert those materials into real like "Waste of wonder".
Waste of wonder
In India,at Delhi one of the world’s oldest and largest cities, seeped in history, home to some of the world’s best monuments, is today grappling with many modern day problems of massive population, chaotic traffic, life threatening pollution and mounting garbage. As if to reconcile these contradicting realities of Delhi a new landmark called the ‘Waste To Wonder’. The park is home to replicas of some of the most visited monuments in the world. But what makes these structures unique is that these have been constructed from waste materials like scrap metal, discarded auto parts, procured from the landfills of the city. The park seems like a tiny island isolated in its being and message from the congested surroundings of the Sarai Kale Khan Inter-State Bus Terminus and the Outer Ring Road, where people and vehicles of all kinds jostle for space and clean air.
Have you ever think about that these waste can be modified into a beautiful monuments?
I don't know how it's possible but yes artist showed their creativity from waste.
Seven wonders now in India's capital.
Because it consist of 7 wonders of the world that means the amazing works of art and architecture known as the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World serve as a testament to the ingenuity, imagination and sheer hard work of which human beings are capable.
So, why we call waste of wonders?
Because every monument is made up of waste. The replicas are -- Taj Mahal (20 ft), the Great Pyramid of Giza (18 ft), Eiffel Tower (60 ft), Leaning Tower of Pisa (25 ft), Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer (25 ft), Rome's Colosseum (15 ft) and New York's Statute of Liberty (30 ft),The seven replicas are installed in a landscaped park. Eiffel Tower, the veritable symbol of Paris and France, which is the tallest one among the replicas, and a Taj Mahal fashioned out of industrial and other waste, including used cycle chains, and motifs drawn on it using laser-cut technology,strikingly stand out.The seven replicas have been made with the scrap of automobile parts and other metal waste like fans, rods, iron sheets, nut-bolts, bicycle and bike parts, defunct sewer lines and age-old appliances gathering dust in 24 municipal stores.Apart from recycling waste materials to create the installations, the park has also taken other measures to cut down its carbon footprint, like using solar power to meet its electricity needs. In an effort to make the park self-sustainable, solar panels have been installed on the rooftops of the washroom and there three solar trees in the park, which capture energy from sunlight and wind for producing energy. Apart from solar panels there is also a wind mill that adds to the park’s capability to generate electricity for itself.
Eco-friendly Artist who will blow your mind-
1.Bettina Werner- Born in Italy at milan.
World renowned- Queen of salt.
First artist who utilities salt as an artistic medium.She said that salt is more valuable than gold.Werner’s striking salt crystal artworks are vivid reflections that chronicle her incredible journey, as she harnesses the beauty of nature through Sicilian salt to create unique visual commentaries on life, love, and spirituality.
2.Andy Goldsworth- World renowned-Land Artist.
Two of Goldsworthy’s most noteworthy installations include With Spire (2008) and Wood Line (2010), which used natural materials found nearby, including wood from Monterey cypress and eucalyptus trees (considered an invasive species).
But wood isn’t the only natural material he employs–he has produced works using everything from icicles and mud to flower petals and stones. Because of the ephemeral nature of many of his works, they are often captured in photographs and video, such as in the 2001 documentary ‘Rivers and Tides’, which uncovers a broad range of Goldworthy’s work and his artistic process, too.Goldsworthy’sfirst sculpture at the Presidio was a towering spire made from 35 cypress trunks that is located near a Monterey cypress grove. The older trees that were used in the Spire were removed by the National Park Service at the end of their lifecycle to make way for younger saplings.To stabilize the sculpture, the keystone tree was anchored into a metal sleeve within a 12-foot-deep hole and surrounded with concrete. At its base, the sculpture is 15 feet in diameter. The Spire soars 90 feet above the ground, and at its base a new crop of trees have been planted. In time, the towering spire will decay, and the trees surrounding it will continue to grow until they completely obscure it.
3.Mariana Debris-
Marina’s work is rubbish–literally. The brilliant artist uses upcycled trash in her art to raise awareness of ocean and beach pollution. Listed with the Women Environmental Artists Directory, the California based artist partners with various anti-pollution organisations, such as Friends of Ballona Wetlands, Ruckus Roots and the United Nations Special Assembly on Climate Change.
DeBris uses marine debris (as her name states) to create something rapidly gaining popularity in eco-chic circles: ‘trashion’, i.e. art, jewellery, fashion and objects for the home created from used, thrown-out, found and repurposed elements. She has also used beach trash to provide one perspective on what the earth might look like from space. DeBris is also a social activist and has participated on a panel to show artists can contribute to environmental public policy and promote clean energy.
Conclusion--
Eco-artists reflect on our human engagement with the natural world, and create ecologically informed artworks that focus on transformation or reclamation.Ecological artist and activist, Beverly Naidus, creates installations that address environmental crises, nuclear legacy issues, and creates works on paper that envision transformation.
Renewable energy sculpture is another recent development in environmental art.
In response to the growing concern about global climate change, artists are designing explicit interventions at a functional level, merging aesthetical responses with the functional properties of energy generation or saving.
Many more productive things happen with the help of creative thought and awareness.
