TRANSIENT SCENERY FROM THE ARTISTIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This paper explores the transient landscape from an artistic perspective. “Transience” has always been a topic of much discussion in art research, and in recent years, many artists have focused their research on transient landscapes. In this paper, the methodology of “Graham Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle model” is adopted, and through the descriptive analysis of the works of several artists, it triggers an in-depth reflection on the manifestation of spatial and temporal relations under the phenomenon of “transient landscape”, as well as the real meaning of the artist’s practice. In this paper, we first introduce the context of the study, using the Graham Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle model as a guide to illustrate the work of several artists’ practices, and reflect on the topic from the artists’ point of view. This paper focuses on the concept of “transient” and its origins, and explores its philosophical implications. The contribution of this paper is to deepen the understanding of transient landscapes through an artistic perspective and to recognize the possibility of hidden spatio-temporal relationships between them.
