                                                                                            Unusual Modern Art

       When we think of art, we normally picture something that can exist for centuries. But there has always been a type of art which does not last for a long time. This is often referred to as ‘temporary’ art, which has artistic values, but is designed to disappear. Paintings are made of snow or ice, in coloured sand or on public pavements. 

      Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada is a modern ‘temporary’ artist, and the one who gets a lot of attention for his work. As a young boy, Jorge, after moving with his family to the States, seriously took a great interest in drawing. It became for him not just a hobby and he spent all his free time on painting. Being in the senior classes he knew for sure: this was his vocation. 

     Now Jorge Rodriguez Gerada is one of the most famous present-day artists. He uses groups of volunteers to help him and his pieces take a long time to plan and create. But people admire them a lot because the final results are impressive. For the past few years, Rodriguez Gerada has been creating gigantic faces in empty spaces in cities. To people on the ground, it looks like a garden that is being created, and it is hard to see any kind of design in it. In fact, GPS mapping is used to start the design. Then a lot of volunteers use this original plan to create the image which the artist has planned. 

     In 2014, the artist created an amazing face on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. it covered about 25, 000 square meters, and it was created because the mall was getting new gardens, and the land was not going to be used for a while. The portrait was a young man of mixed race, and was called Of the Many, One. The artist says that it showed one of the millions of faces that represent the American people. After a while, the sand and soil of the portrait were mixed together, and new grass was planted in its place. The portrait has disappeared, but it will not easily be forgotten. 

     In 2018, he designed “Perpetual flow” in Morocco. It shows running water which flows between the fingers of two huge hands in a “perpetual flow”. It covers over 37,500 square meters and is made of stones and vegetable oil. This project symbolises the ability to reuse water.
