We have heard that rivers overflow their banks. But for the pictures to go beyond the frame - this is something new! Landscape created by the artist Gregory Euclide, proves that this is possible. Although the name of this work of art "landscape" in the traditional sense of the word, the language somehow does not turn. Why - see for yourself.
The modern landscape is forced to survive in the era of digital photography. Accurate reproduction of nature, albeit even in its most beautiful moments, will surprise no one. In this sense, some noteworthy aesthetes completely reject the modern landscape. For them, the one who paints landscapes is not an artist, but a photographer (and even then not the best, for inaccurate!). In order not to turn into another run-of-the-mill "photographer", Gregory Euclid presents his special vision of the modern landscape. His latest creation, "Held Within What Hung Open and Made to Lie Without Escape", included in the author's exposition "Otherworld" ("Out of this world"), can now be seen at the New York Museum of Art and Design.
The American artist Gregory Euclide is already familiar to us by how original his vision of landscape art is. His works are amazing: from a wide variety of materials, he creates paintings that are at the same time three-dimensional sculptures.
And the new piece of art from Gregory Euclid has something to surprise. This is not just a landscape, but an installation of unprecedented dimensions. Gregory himself calls his works "diorama-like", that is, a semblance of a diorama. The landscape depicted in the painting is quite traditional. The river, placed in the center, visually divides the picture into two parts - a technique familiar to landscape painters. But Euclid's river flows from the world of the picture … into our world. The picture seems to "open up", and we see its continuation up close.
The materials from which this work of art is created are not familiar to us, but the artist's favorite acrylic paints, polystyrene, used paper, moss, foam and others that were at hand.
Nourished by the scenic countryside of Wisconsin, where the artist spent his childhood, Gregory Euclid in his works captures the longing that arises in every city dweller. This longing is generated by the inability to feel nature when you exist in a culture that is so far removed from it. Therefore, the work of landscape art that we saw is another attempt by Gregory Euclid to create, bit by bit, the world of nature, which in a sense has become otherworldly.
