Lyrical Abstraction
Earthworks encompass art practices that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, characterized by large-scale sculptural interventions in natural landscapes. Artists working in this vein sought to challenge traditional notions of art and the gallery space, instead engaging with the land as a site for creative expression. Earthworks often incorporate earth, rocks, and other natural materials into their construction, blurring the boundaries between nature and culture. These works can be found in a variety of settings, from remote rural areas to urban environments. Earthworks are not only aesthetically compelling but also invite reflection on our relationship with the environment, underscoring the interconnectedness of all living things.
