Introducing Kara Artistics’s Aluminium Collection: Captivating Functional Sculptures Reflecting Humanity's Relationship with the Environment

​

Welcome to the captivating world of Kara Artistics, where creativity and environmental consciousness merge to form intricate sculptures that resonate with profound meaning. Led by Kara Schoeman, a talented Fine Artist from Clarens, and her esteemed collaborator, Stephan Schoeman, a renowned Foundry artist based in Bloemfontein, South Africa, Kara Artistics presents an artistic synergy that goes beyond mere aesthetics.

​

Drawing inspiration from the fragile balance between humanity and nature, our exceptional designs serve as poignant reminders of the urgent need to address the irreversible impact of human activities on our planet. With a particular focus on the plight of endangered species, our sculptures skillfully capture their gradual descent into extinction, a direct consequence of human intervention in their habitats.

​

What sets Kara Artistics apart is our incorporation of psychology into this thought-provoking concept. By exploring the complex emotions of pride, guilt, and fear that arise from our relationship with the environment, our sculptures delve into the intricate depths of the human psyche. They reflect our conflicting sense of control over nature and the parallel apprehension we feel, fearing the consequences of our parasitic-like symbiosis with the ecology. The underlying fear of our own extinction looms, casting a sobering light on the path towards environmental sustainability.

​

At the heart of our artistic process lies the transformative power of recycled aluminium. Starting with discarded engine parts and other scrap aluminium, we breathe new life into these materials, melting and reshaping them into extraordinary and visually stunning designs. This meticulous process not only infuses each sculpture with a unique character but also serves as a testament to the significance of recycling in its entirety. Through our artistry, we aim to inspire a wider appreciation for the vital role of recycling in combatting our destructive impact on the environment.

​

Kara Artistics strives to awaken collective consciousness and foster an unwavering commitment to eradicate the harmful effects of human intervention. Each of our sculptures serves as a catalyst for change, urging viewers to embrace a more sustainable and harmonious coexistence with nature. Join us on this profound artistic journey as we navigate the delicate interplay between art, environmental awareness, and the timeless beauty of recycled materials.
