Konstantin Dimopoulos’s The Blue Trees environmental artwork

{{{page.title}}}

In my socially-engaged environmental art installation, The Blue Trees, the colour and the Tree come together to transform and affect each other; the colour changing the Tree into something surreal, while the Tree, rooted in this earth reflects what we may lose. The Blue Trees highlights ecological issues and raises social consciousness by referencing how individually and collectively we shape the world we inhabit. The Blue Trees engages the community who help me colour the trees using a biologically-safe watercolour. They become artists with me for a time, empowering them in their understanding of the role art can play in highlighting local and global issues. Konstantin Dimopoulos
