We only have
one world to live in, and it won’t last forever. Environmental protection is a vital issue in the
contemporary era. Global warming and the extreme climatic events that it is
causing in the world today are only a few expressions of the current
environmental crises produced by pollution, the exploitation of natural
resources and mass consumption. The theme of this Meadows group exhibition
allows us to assist in the defense of Nature and to protect the natural
environment by depicting our natural world, thus calling attention to the
beauty of the diverse species in the biospheres of each MEADOWS artist
exhibited here. Biodiversity is our heritage and our salvation. Protecting it
for ourselves and conserving it for posterity is our duty. The diversities of
Nature expressed in so many different paintings from just as many different
environments are here united in a single installation – a call to action to
increase awareness about the need to protect our diversity, thereby giving a
sense of hope for the future.
As an International NGO,
MEADOWS has consistently maintained a spectrum of activities to encompass an
ever-growing global tendency to use visual arts as a powerful tool of cultural
dialogue. The current installation already exhibited in the context of the
Salon des Beaux Arts 2019 at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris involves 46
artists from 30 different countries and is the physical implementation of a
concept directed towards that goal.
