Özet:

Since Land Art, Environmental Art, and Nature Art are not strictly separated from each other, they often appear as art concepts that they often appear as understandings of art that are called or mixed interchangeably. Although a full limitation cannot be made. these definitions, which are quite complex and intertwined, can be examined according to the material used and the difference in purpose, Land Art and Environmental Art are avant-garde art genres that emerged in America in the late 1960s and influenced all western countries during the 1970s through the 1980s. Land Art and Environmental Art are approaches that create new forms by combining the environment and materials that do not belong to the environment, which are specially designed for the place where they are performed, and observe sculptural features. Rather, projects are produced that place unnatural objects with similar purposes in the natural environment. Time-oriented individual performances in nature are seen; they encompass a wide range of post-war artistic experiences, such as jointly realized “social awareness projects”. Also site-specific projects that use nature's materials to produce new shapes; They include time-sensitive individual studies and interventions in nature that bring new, unnatural objects to the natural environment for the same purposes. However, most of the works were made with heavy machinery, with little or no regard to the ecology of the environment in which they were produced. In the Nature Art works; There are a wide variety of application forms using many natural materials such as stone, soil, ice, tree stumps, branches, leaves. In the gallery space, where artists dig trenches in nature and bury natural or unnatural materials; It is seen that they frequently use soil, manure, stone or human-made environmental objects. The created work of art is left to nature, it is open to change and transformation, it even disappears over time. Instead of applying some ideas that woke up in his/her mind before coming to the land, or adapting his/her own art style to that land,, the artist produces it by exploring the land and the potentials it holds, that is, he determines the parameters of the land. At this point, we can say that the relationship of the revealed work of art with its Nature Art was institutionalized with the establishment of the Korea Nature Artists Association (YATOO) in 1981, oriented more towards nature, focusing on discovering the unique nature of every place and producing with nature. Nature art; It is a branch of art that takes its inspiration entirely from nature and what the land offers. It cares about the relationship between nature and the artist. In this context, nature art shows significant differences compared to similar art formations. While studying the Natural Art that is the focus of the research, information will be provided about international groups and organizations that actively organize events on this art movement, as well as groups that produce it on a national scale and case studies. YATOO (Korea), ORANKI (Finland), ART SELLA (Italy) BAGGAT ART ASSOCIATION (Korea), which conducts natural art studies, are internationally active groups, while PATHKA ART GROUP based in Izmir and TOPRAK ART GROUP based in Gaziantep stand out as the first groups to implement natural art studies in Turkey. The aim of this study is to introduce the general characteristics of Natural Art and the groups of Natural Art made in Turkey and the first Natural Art works. It is thought that it will be meaningful for Natural Art works to be spread both as production and for the resulting works to be brought together with more people.
