When Leonardo da Vinci first painted vitruvian man, he thought about harmony and correct proportions of being. Now, 500 years later, the harmony of the world is under threat - and this idea was decided to convey to us by John Quigley, the author of the grandiose snow (or rather, ice) the vitruvian man who … melts.
John Quigley (John Quigley) is a world famous author of socio-ecological monumental art. Most of his paintings-messages, which we have already talked about, can be clearly seen only from a great height, and almost all of them are devoted to such pressing issues as deforestation, reduction of protected areas, protection of biological diversity … and it is not the first time John Quigley protest against global warming: at one time he created an art against the greenhouse effect right in Antarctica from an iceberg that came to hand.
Snow Vitruvian Man appeared on the other side of the earth, 500 miles from the North Pole. Arctic ice is melting right before our eyes - this is shown by the melting outlines of a once harmonious figure. Quigley laid out the contours of the "Vitruvian 2D Snowman" using copper wire and volunteers from Greenpeace. The client and sponsor of the work on the painting was actually Greenpeace, who paid for the trip to the artist's place of work and his assistants on the ship "Arctic Sunrise" (seen in the photo).
A melting Vitruvian man inscribed in a circle about 100 meters in diameter is one of the most emblematic images of the problem of global warming, which called into question symmetry human and planet … It is possible that this image will become the new mascot of the campaign to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

Tiny cement sculptures: people suffering from global warming
Many artists are trying to draw attention to the problem of global warming. A very original art project - little people made of cement, left on the streets of the largest cities in the world.

Global warming. Melting animals in Takeshi Kawano's art project
The fauna may soon disappear the way a ball of ice cream disappears in hot coffee, and an ice cube disappears in a glass of whiskey. Global warming is not the invention of British scientists, and it is not just scientists who are worried about our common future. Thus, the Japanese sculptor Takeshi Kawano approached this problem creatively. He dedicated a small but emotional author's installation to her called Melting Animals
10 archaeological finds that have been made thanks to global warming
Relatively recently, a new trend in archeology has appeared, called "glacial". The fact is that glaciers sometimes give scientists incredible finds, which have survived only due to the fact that ancient artifacts turned out to be frozen into layers of ice and snow. In our review 10 finds that were made only thanks to global warming
Art Against Global Warming: Arctic Glaciers in Realistic Paintings Zaria Forman
The artist Zaria Forman can be safely called a hero of our time, since she not only paints wonderful pictures, but also actively promotes the protection of the environment. To work on the "Chasing the Light" series of paintings, she went on an Arctic expedition.

Vitruvian man against melting ice
Drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci The Vitruvian Man is considered a reference image of the human body, in which everything is correctly and harmoniously arranged. But it just so happened that Man himself violates world harmony, negatively influencing many natural processes with his activity. For example, the melting of the Arctic ice. This is what an unusual drawing created by the artist John Quigley on one of the huge ice floes in the Arctic Ocean reports
