Public Art: Major reasons to support it

Public art has remained an essential aspect of human civilization since the ages. Greece-based Parthenon is one of the oldest existing examples of public art that proves this point. Talking about the current era, public art still holds a strong position despite technological advancements.

So, what makes this art form so vital? We have attempted to answer this question below.

Instrumental in raising awareness

Numerous artists create their artworks around some social issues. Women empowerment is one of the essential themes of various artists. Environment conservation is another topic that sculptors focus upon while creating their designs. When placed at public places, these pieces of art attract the attention of individuals. It might become a topic of discussion among groups of people, something crucial to raise awareness.

Encourages new artists

In the last few decades, the youth has been less inclined towards art as a career. Better opportunities in science, technology, and commerce-related domains is a crucial reason. When the demand for public art rises, it encourages new artists to choose sculpting or wall art as a career. Funding by the government is also crucial in this regard.

Attracts tourists

The tourists from different countries or even different Indian states find public art quite appealing. Especially for foreign tourists, it is a medium to understand the local culture better. Various art pieces are often accompanied by a detailed description that talks about its cultural and historical significance. This information enables travelers to get a better idea of the art and the local culture as a whole.

A way to recycle waste

Waste disposal is a massive challenge for both government agencies and local communities. For several artists, plastic and other forms of waste are raw materials to create beautiful art pieces. Some of the artworks specifically highlight the repercussions of plastic use. For example, an artwork titled ‘Plastic Kouros’ by Anu Jindal used PET bottles to show how plastic waste impacts humans. Waste to Wonders Park is another prominent example in which 150 tons of scrap was used to build replicas of seven wonders of the world.

Helps local communities

Apart from encouraging more artists to work as professional sculptors, public art also helps local communities. With the involvement of helpers, welders, and local artisans, the local economy gets a boost. The businesses also benefit from the supply of raw materials and tools.

Contributions by Neeraj Gupta

Delhi-based renowned sculptor artist Neeraj Gupta put in various efforts to enhance the scene of public art. He has recommended the effective utilization of funds for public art through a proposal shared to the Urban Art Commission of Delhi. As per Mr Gupta, the artworks could be installed in locations like the exit/entry points of the airport, exteriors of shopping malls and the lawns under the major flyovers.

Witness the public art of this award-winning sculptor at public places like Nehru Park, Nirman Bhavan, and DRDO headquarters.
