LANDSCAPE ART PIECES IN KEW GARDENS

Photo Guillermo Chaves H.

Kew Gardens in constant renewal surprised with special details and art new infrastructure with a seal of high aesthetic level. Each piece that incorporates leading innovation and quality meticulously studied. Many works are sculptures, fountains, sculptures, art exhibitions, such as Henry Moore exhibition that I described in this blog, and other recent additions of modern design. Being in tune with the times and provide a good level of contemporary art is one of their goals.

Some works that I can list and are pleasantly surprised me:

SLATE SEVEN TOWERS

The fountain sculpture Sevenkeeps Slate 1996 was designed by Dan Harvey , with the assistance of Heather Ackroyd, Dan Knight and Paul Wilkins. Made on behalf of Sir Robert and Lisa Sainsbury by the Privy Garden at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The source is the central feature of the Privy Garden at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

The towers are constructed from hundreds of slabs, each layer specifically cut and placed to create a spiraling tower. The top of each tower is topped with a container of molten bronze. Water is pumped to the tower filling up the glasses, and slowly seeps through the slabs to pond. Originally created without the fence, but fear for the potential danger presented the piece was surrounded, this against the wishes of the artist.

DANIEL HARVEY is a British artist born in 1959, graduated with honors from the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Cardiff College of Art and holds a Master of the Royal College of Art, London. Slate is the material that marked the beginning of much of their work. His creative work includes installation, sculpture, landscape design, photography, performance, film and often reflects the architectural and scientific concerns. Another part of the conceptual approach is the time and visibility.

GATEWAY Sackler

The Sackler gateway designed by John Pawson for Kew Gardens. This work says a lot about how to deal with the architectural design of a passage on the water targeting integration and showing a good solution speaking at heritage sites of historical importance. It shows that we can bring the cutting edge with the past, naturally relate to the architecture and nature. Its gently undulating form and choice of materials make it lightly. The design of the rails, consisting of a rectangular profile with light bronze " leds the granite pavement between any two profiles is simple elegance. Its total length is 42 m rolling, deployed floating over a pond. The sensitivity with which it was designed is more characteristic of the eastern to the western landscape.

DNA for KEW Gardens of Charles Jencks, 2003.

Discovery of DNA has shown us a new geometric figure that excites us. It is also a design motif that can be expressed, to some extent, our anthropocentrism through works of art.

helical structure, designed by Charles Jencks , artist, architect and theorist of postmodernism, is a work that takes up the theme and brings it to the sculpture and landscape design. His work as a landscape architect is based on various organic shapes, such as fractals, chaos theory, genetic forms, waves and solitons (mathematics and physics, a soliton is a solitary wave). It is one of the most creative contemporary artists, has taken the ideas, physical, mathematical, biological, and so the proposed landscape works as enigmatic as a high aesthetic profile.
