Sustainable Art Open , Atkinson Gallery. Private View. 21 Feb 2024.

“As we stand on the face of a pivotal moment in our planet’s history, the need for sustainable practices and a renewed connection with nature has never been more pressing. In response to this imperative, we are proud to present an array of artworks that transcend traditional boundaries, both in medium and message. These pieces not only captivate the senses but also challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the environment and the impact of our choices on the world we inhabit.

The Atkinson Gallery has long been a supporter of artistic expression, fostering a community that embraces innovation and social responsibility.
In this exhibition, we take a bold step forward, inviting you to explore the intersection of art and sustainability. From thought-provoking installations that confront the consequences of consumerism to intricate sculptures crafted from repurposed materials, each piece on display carries a narrative that resonates with the urgency of our times.

Artists featured in this exhibition have delved deep into the intricate dance between humanity and nature. They invite us to reflect on the delicate balance that sustains life on Earth and to consider how our artistic endeavors can be a force for positive change. The exhibited works not only showcase technical skill and aesthetic brilliance but also serve as a call to action, urging us to reconsider our ecological footprint and inspire a collective commitment to a more sustainable future.

Thank you for joining us on this journey, where art meets advocacy, and together, we envision a future where creativity and sustainability intertwine.”
