Anya Gallaccio is a British
installation artist, She was born in 1963; she studied at Kingston polytechnic
and at Goldsmiths College in London. Anya works with organic materials and the
main aspect to her artwork is transformation and change, she wants the viewer
to feel the emotion that she portrays within her work, this means that the
venue and space are both an important aspect of her installations, because she
uses organic materials and these change and transform through time she uses photographic documentation to show the change
of eroding and decaying natural materials, depending on what space there in
depends on how long it takes the flowers or plants to erode and decay, for
example if you visited the exhibition at the beginning of the week and then
again at the end of the week, you would have seen the change and transformation
that natural organic materials take.
This is one of my favorite installations called 'Red on Green'
2012 it is a gradual decay and eroding of 10,000 red roses, which were
laid like a beautiful field of red roses upon the gallery floor.
Red
On Green is
an aggressive gesture that holds a mirror to society’s concept of beauty and
our displacement of nature.
Red On Green is a beautiful installation showing a field of beautiful red roses at the first look, but once its starts to decay do you see a different beauty or ugliness? for myself i believe as it decays throughout its time at the gallery it becomes more beautiful showing its aging through decay and eroding, natural materials have true beauty when they start to decay they become fragile and delicate and at a touch they could crumble and fall apart, in a way like human emotions. what is beauty really?, everyone has their own opinions.
