"… For a long time the guys could not understand what kind of" fungus "grows in the distance" - this is how a good half of the bloodthirsty stories about a little boy that children told each other when I went to school ends. A similar "fungus" has grown in the portfolio of a contemporary artist Chris Drury, except that nothing had to be blown up for this, and no one was injured. Peaceful installation is called that, Mushroom Cloud … The Mushroom Cloud installation is not just in the shape of a nuclear mushroom: it literally consists of mushrooms. Conception artist Chris Drury needed to string between 6,000 and 18,000 pieces of dried and acrylic-coated mushrooms to then hang the bundles in the right order to shape the canvas. It seems that installations hanging in the air are becoming a popular trend in contemporary art.
And as always, at the peak of popularity, the topic of the relationship between man and nature. The five-meter sculptural installation, as conceived by the author, should symbolize at the same time birth, and death, and beauty, and mortal horror, to which a person has put his hand. The work is presented at the Italian art gallery Arte Sella.
