Poplar plywood, Bioresin, Special cleaned earth, Acrylic paint, Matt acrylic Vanish. Signed and numbered // Leuven Landscape (Hansa Yellow 111) by Ugo Rondinone is a striking mixed-media sculpture from 2013, made from poplar plywood, bioresin, earth, and acrylic paint. The piece stands out due to its textured front, which is covered in dark, specially cleaned earth, creating a rugged, organic surface that contrasts sharply with the vibrant Hansa yellow color painted along the edges. The earthy texture evokes a sense of raw nature and tactile connection, while the bold yellow edge introduces an unexpected pop of color, bridging natural and synthetic aesthetics. This juxtaposition creates a contemplative and minimalistic work, inviting viewers to consider the relationship between nature and constructed form.

What is Earth Art?
Earth art, also known as Land Art, emerged in the 1960s and 70s as part of the conceptual art movement. It involves creating artworks by sculpting the land or constructing structures in the landscape using natural materials like earth, rocks, or twigs. These works are often large-scale and emphasize the relationship between art and nature.
