Dubuffet used an impasto thickened by natural materials such as sand, tar and straw, and used elements of collage by recycling different discarded papers and other ephemera.

Wishing everyone a very happy Earth Day with Doug Aitken’s “Earth Plane” (2015), on view in Mother Nature in the Bardo, an exhibition honoring and exploring the environment. This work is on view at through April 30. Aitken is a contemporary multimedia artist known for his bold sculptures and works that explore the relationship between evolution and ecology. Aitken often creates “living artworks,” that combine nature and technology, building installations that evolve through both environmental and artistic intervention. “Earth Plane” is a sprawling sculpture layered with a luminous image of a quarry. The deep, ancient beauty of exposed stone — shaped by millions of years of geological activity — is juxtaposed with the small-scale machinery poised to extract it. The piece offers a powerful meditation on the complex relationships between humanity and the planet’s resources.

On view: Robert Longo in Mother Nature in the Bardo at through April 30.

Robert Longo’s black-and-white images often feature iconography that elicits equal parts fear and fascination, like the shark in Suleimon. These hyper-realistic drawings show the violence present in both man and animals, humanity and nature. There is also much more to Longo’s technique than meets the eye. Rather than applying charcoal in additive layers to work from light to dark, Longo first covers the paper in deep, dark layers of charcoal, and adds highlights by progressively removing it. When interviewed by Interview Magazine, Longo stated “I always feel like I’m carving the image out rather than painting the image. I’m carving it out with erasers and tools like that.”

Bringing art and education together

The GEM Report has collaborated with BlackBook Presents on Mother Nature in the Bardo, an art book and exhibition that explores the intersection of education, art, and climate change. Now open to the public in New York City until April 30, 2025, this exhibition highlights how art transcends boundaries, sparking dialogue and fostering a sense of shared responsibility.

When it comes to education, art transcends the boundaries of language and social strata, weaving a powerful tapestry of community. This is why it finds itself at the heart of many city-led climate change initiatives. Collaborative art projects spark dialogue, raise awareness, and inspire collective action. Art speaks a universal language, helping us visualize the complexities of climate change in a way that data alone cannot.

Let Mother Nature in the Bardo be a call to action - an inspiration for educators to harness the power of art in shaping a generation of informed, empathetic, and empowered climate leaders.

📍 Visit the exhibition in NYC before April 30, 2025.

A portion of the proceeds of the sale of the art will go towards funding the work of the GEM Report.

See Cecily Brown in Mother Nature in the Bardo, on view at through April 30.

Cecily Brown is a British painter who combines figuration and abstraction in her large, gestural works. Inspired by artists like Willem de Kooning, Brown expands upon the principles of Abstract Expressionism, describing her process as a type of performance wherein her brushstrokes and movements are visible as part of the unfinished work. Red Rum, 2001, is emblematic of the forces of nature, and the ways in which humans interact with the environment–a cycle of chaos, violence, beauty, growth, and destruction.

See Donald Judd in Mother Nature in the Bardo, on view at through April 30.

Known for large-scale minimalist work, Donald Judd was a passionate environmentalist throughout his career. As a founding member of the Texas chapter of the Environmental Defense Fund, Judd championed conservation efforts and worked to support sustainability, ecology, and preservation. These environmental practices were inextricably linked with Judd’s artistic practice, which embodied the belief that art is an extension of its environment. In 1986, Judd opened The Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas–a contemporary art museum focused on bringing together art, architecture, and nature. At Chinati, Judd focused on creating and showcasing public works that engaged with the desert landscape, and invited other artists to do the same. He planted gardens, and began a re-planting project, returning native plants to the grounds of the museum.
