Abstract: This short essay examines the pigment works of Adam Grose within the context of post-1960s environmentally engaged art practices. By analysing his use of earth and rock-derived pigments and collected sea, rain and snow water, this discussion situates his work in relation to Land Art and Arte Povera, as well as more recent ecological approaches to materiality.
Drawing on precedents established by Robert Smithson, Giuseppe Penone, and Andy Goldsworthy, this paper will argue that Grose’s practice represents a development in process-based art, in which landscape is not depicted but materially enacted.
