Blane De St. Croix
Blane De St. Croix (born in Boston, MA) is an American artist best known for his monumental sculptures and installations.
His sculptures investigate the human relationship to the contemporary landscape and the ecological and geopolitical conflicts imbedded in that relationship. [1] His practice is founded on extensive field research and investigations that incorporate discourses on art, cultural geography, ecology and the repurposing of the landscape genre, traditionally associated with painting, into sculptural statements.[2]
