Contemporary artists found used bottles, hay, rice stalks, plastic straw,
and other recycled materials useful in creating artworks. Art and recycling go
hand-in-hand. Eco-artists are transforming old, recycled, and reused objects
into amazing pieces of contemporary art. The trend started gaining prominence
in the 1980s when museums and galleries in the Western world opened their
doors for such innovation and creativity.
In recent years, many artists in the Middle East have started expressing
their support for recycling and sustainability through artworks. They merge
traditional tone with contemporary themes creating beautiful installation art that
express local cultural heritage in the larger public interests. Artists express their
emotions and ideas through recyclable glasses, cans, plastics, CDs, PET
bottles, etc.
This type of art is termed Installation Art which is 3-dimensional work using
common raw and natural materials to create an object with different messages
directed to the viewers and the public audiences. Installation art can be
expressed in any form like objects, videos, sound, or even through the Internet.
Interestingly, installation art is also considered a part of the Renaissance,
where people can discover classical cultural movements like Surrealism and
Futurism.
Many artists search for inspiration surrounding them, while others express
their feelings in the artwork. Artists use recycled or reused objects to make
attractive contemporary art pieces and turn everyday trash into creative
treasures. Some create compositions from recycled plastic bags or themed
works for art galleries, while others create entire theme parks with trash and
even furniture from recycled materials. For example, if an artist has a penchant
for collecting beverage cans, he/she might be interested in creating a replica of
a famous building or monument.

The Philippines is very rich in natural resources. With our artistic


inclinations, we can maximize the use of these natural resources even in
creating arts.
