By definition, environmental art is a creative process that engages with ecological/environmental issues, using natural materials to highlight the relationship between humans and the natural world. Some call it ephemeral art. If it is flower based (multi-media), floral art. No matter what you call it, this is an art form where nature, vision, creativity and a wild imagination come together, inspiring us to look at nature in a whole new way.

The art in this gallery has been created with discarded items from dumps, arroyos, neglected backyards, forest floors, the ocean, roadsides and the desert. When combined, they create something thought provoking and exciting that makes you think twice about what we consider mundane, trash or no longer functional. 

Some pieces above are from the environmental art show at New Concept Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, featuring the works of Carole Aine Langrall, Brian Arthur, and Richard Solomon. This groundbreaking show was covered by Pasatiempo, the Santa Fe Gallery Association, and THE Magazine. Carole’s “Seated Orchids” was also featured in the Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory & Botanical Gardens’ Celebration of Orchids exhibit in Baltimore, MD.

“The environmental art of Brian Arthur” was a featured story in “Santa Fe in Bloom” in the Santa Fe New Mexican’s HOME Magazine.  Visit Brian’s website at : http://bastelladesign.com/.
