A former student found the Cuban Artist Jorge Rodriguez Gerada and thought I should check him out. I personally love his work which is created in dirt and charcoal. His pieces are also done in really large scale on the sides of buildings or in empty fields.
Since his work is done with natural materials, it is only there for a short time and then mother nature takes it away. He says that it is the same as how our moments on both earth and in the spotlight is just as short.
Do you agree with his statement? How does that make you feel? Would you be able to create work like his and be okay with it going away after a big rain storm? Tell me your thoughts.
