Effective Way of Showcasing Recycled Art

Posted by samuelperth on July 15th, 2013

Initially, recycled art was meant to draw people’s attention on the fact that recycled materials can be used to create something beautiful and memorable; actually, this type of art had a powerful social and environmental impact and managed to make people aware of the importance of recycling. Nowadays, artists continue to resort to upcycling to create works of art meant to produce a powerful impact on the general public. If a few years ago a work of art created from cans would have seemed a joke to us, this is no longer the case, for we have already seen how many things can be done with upcycled materials. 

As already mentioned, the primary objective of recycled art was to determine community members to recycle by showing them how reclaimed materials can be used to create genuine masterpieces. As this type of art gained more and more followers and artists managed to create veritable masterpieces with recycled materials, it became obvious that recycled art also fulfills an aesthetic function; actually, it seems that the aesthetic dimension has started to prevail and to be perceived as more important than the social and environmental components. Artists use reclaimed materials to make an environmental statement, but never lose sight of the aesthetic function of their work and they expect their creations to produce an emotional or aesthetic response.

In case you are a fan of upcycling and you want to follow the footsteps of reputed artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso, you should put your imagination to the test and see what you come up with. And if you are happy with the result of your creative efforts, you should consider displaying your work of art in a place where it can be seen by the general public; all you have to do is search for a gallery which works with upcycling artists and helps them promote their creations. It goes without saying that your compositions should be original, innovative and unique; otherwise, your work may not be received by galleries which promote upcycled art.

If you are a specialist in upcycled art and you have decided to share your work with the rest of the world, you should know that you have the chance to achieve your objective: all you have to do is send your application to an online gallery that displays works of art from reclaimed materials. In case your application is successful, you will be asked to create a profile and you will be able to start uploading photos of your artwork right away. You will also be able to sell via this gallery if potential customers express their interest in your work. All in all, showcasing your works of art in an online gallery is a cost-effective and efficient modality of becoming known in the junk art community and of enabling the general public to become familiar with your artwork.
