ARTIST of the DAY: Richard Shilling

art of the land, POWERED by the SUN

I live rurally, by choice, and find the environment I live in almost overwhelmingly inspirational.  Today’s Artists of the Day has found a way to put my inspiration to work for him AS art.  Enjoy the gorgeous, ephemeral work of Richard Shilling.  So many of his works are powered by the sun, just like today’s Power It Forward Call.

“Through his ongoing relationship with nature he explores themes to do with time, ecology and the constant flux of the seasons and expresses these ideas through his unique land art images.  Every sculpture is photographed in natural light, using normal camera equipment and without any Photoshop…  Each photo accurately depicts how each sculpture appeared, at its most vibrant moment, before the elements reclaim the materials back to nature.” –from richardshilling.co.uk

Some foods are fleeting.  I love it when foods are only available for a couple of weeks.  It is a snooze-and-you-lose kind of situation.  Romanesco broccoli is a great example.  It is a fabulously alien looking vegetable, and the season isn’t all that short, but it is rarely found for more than a couple of weeks at grocers.  This next Call is all about the value in the fleeting.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries for the Szpilman Award from Szpilman (a group of artists, based in Berlin and Frankfurt, Germany) given to ephemeral works.  There is no entry fee, but the postmark deadline is just around the corner.  Don’t miss this opportunity!
