About The Blue Trees – Konstantin Dimopoulos | Sculptures, Installations, Mixed Media

*I am creating The Blue Trees in Museum Square, Pensacola, Florida USA as part of the Foo Foo Festival from 1-5 November 2024. If you’re in town, come on down and join in the fun.*

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. This change highlights ecological issues, such as the ecocide of our forests and climate change, and effects a transformation in the psyche of people by raising our social consciousness 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
