Canvas from the trunk of the tree; Ecosystem

In the innovative works of Alison Moritsugu, traditional rural landscapes are recreated to challenge our understanding of nature and art by converting to influential and thoughtful experiences. Inspired by the renowned eighteenth and nineteenth -century painters, Moritsuo, such as Albert Bierstadt and Frederic Edwin Church, paints directly on the trunk surface of the trees; A work that is paid tribute to artistic traditions as well as a statement criticizing it.

These beautiful landscapes, reminiscent of the era of idealism and the splendor of the pristine nature, are in a conscious contrast with the rough and wounded surface of the wood. With this choice, Mauritoso simply reminds that the splendor of the landscapes is illustrated, with the destructive reality of the same nature. The trunk of the tree instead of the classic canvas becomes a symbol of what is lost to create this beauty.

In explaining his work, Moritsogo says that he intends to examine the hidden structures in the landscapes of the previous centuries; Works that were often served by the political view of their time and showed nature as an infinite and border paradise to seize. By transferring these images from traditional frames to real pieces, he shows the gap between the ideal beauty and the damaged truth.

Mauritoso’s works are at the same time as paying tribute to tradition and cash; A combination of nostalgia and alert message that calls us to reflect on their effects on nature. Through this unique approach, he invites us to think of the fleeting beauty of nature and understand our role in maintaining and maintaining it. (Visualflood)
