What is industrial art? The first definition that pops into our mind when we hear this term is a rough sketch of factory chimneys, but this definition is not very clear and it doesn’t show the connection between industrial art and art at all.

Truly speaking, we can say that Industrial Art is a new form of art which mainly depends on the materials used to depict something. Industrial Arts are being produced in different countries by many artists and they are used to make magnificent pieces of arts like sculptures or paintings. These artists use raw materials like iron, steel, wood etc. to create different types of art work and their works speak for themselves without any need of words.

The most prominent characteristic of Industrial Arts is that they are made up of the waste materials which are generally thrown away or ignored by the people who see them. They never try to create something new out of these materials as they know that these materials have already been used for some purpose.

This kind of art requires extraordinary imagination; an artist must be creative enough to come up with ideas which can be converted into some kind of artwork with the help of these commonly discarded and old things.

Industrial Art has been developed over time by many artists from all over the world and its evolution has given birth to

I am an industrial artist who graduated from the university of Miami with a BA in graphic design. But I will not be using it in my professional career. I am now self-employed, working as an artist and instructor of industrial art.

What is industrial art? It is a combination of many artistic disciplines which are used to convey information, to record, or to convey history through objects.

These objects can be anything from paintings on canvas to sculpted figures in bronze; they can be written words to descriptive panels or interactive computer software; they can be exhibits, museums, or tours.

All of these things are used by people for various purposes. Some are meant for entertainment, some for education and some for recording information about certain events that may have taken place at a particular location or time period.

I use these objects as tools when I create industrial art. I employ these tools in a variety of ways to create art which is not only visually pleasing but also serves a specific purpose. It must also be functional . . . . .

“The artist is an industrialist, who, by observing and picturing the surrounding world, shows us a new way of life.”

– Pablo Picasso

Industrial art is the art of the common man. This form of art came about with the development of factories in Manchester England and other industrialized cities of Europe. The factory system brought many workers under one roof. These workers were alienated by their work conditions and this led to their artistic expression. Industrial art was more about the working man than it was about the machines he worked with. The concern for social justice and human dignity are central themes in industrial art.

For example, in England, William Morris, a designer and artisan joined the socialist movement and founded what became known as the Arts & Crafts Movement. The goal of this group was to make all objects useful as well as beautiful. They wanted to lessen the gap between fine arts and crafts. Many artists belonging to this movement believed that great art could only be made by people who have control over their own work. Morris’ group of worker-artists called themselves “The Brotherhood,” which is where we get the term “Brotherhood of Man.” This group focused on making a change in society through the arts. Many members of “The Brotherhood” were inspired

I have been involved in the art world for over 20 years. I have been an artist, critic and curator, and currently write a blog about industrial art.

I was born in India and moved to the UK when I was 9 years old. My father worked as an engineer and my mother was a teacher in India. Both my parents were creative, but they didn’t share their work with me.

The first time I saw either of them making art was when I came to live in the UK. In our family home there are many examples of both my mother’s and father’s art. They are all mixes of traditional Indian methods with Western styles – collage, sculpting, painting, drawing and photography. My father has always been interested in photography, especially how light works in photography. My mother has an amazing talent for sculpture and she is also a fantastic painter.

My parents were very supportive of my journey into becoming an artist too, but like many parents they didn’t think that I would be able to make a living from it at that stage of my life; so they encouraged me to study science at university. They knew that if I studied science then I would gain skills that could be easily used in other areas later on; whereas if I studied art I

Industrial art is a genre of art in which the artist’s intention is to communicate ideas through a visual language that combines human and industrial materials. It aims to reflect the changing society and values of the contemporary world, incorporating materials and objects from everyday life.

Industrial art has been influential in Western Europe since the early 1990s, particularly in Britain. As a movement, it is closely allied to conceptual art, and a precursor to Arte Povera, although it has developed more directly from Dada and Surrealism. The artists like Christo who use industrial materials are sometimes called “new sculptors”.

Tate Modern’s 1992 exhibition “The New Art” was seen as a turning point for this movement. It showed artists such as Rachel Whiteread, Robert Gober, Martin Creed and Damien Hirst. The exhibition was organized by Richard Cork, who was inspired by the book “Arte Povera” published in 1983 by Germano Celant. The book introduced the Italian Arte Povera group of avant-garde artists whose work with raw or industrial materials coincided with the economic miracle of postwar Italy. A second edition was published 1994 in conjunction with Tate’s exhibition.[1]

Cork wrote in his catalogue essay: ”

The art of industry has been a neglected area historically. Painters and sculptors have enjoyed high social status in most cultures, while the industrialist has been regarded as a pariah. This is, however, starting to change. The rise of the designer has made us more aware of the quality of manufactured goods, and we are becoming more interested in who designs them.

Taste for industrial design is now so strong that it can be a source of competitive advantage for those companies that are perceived as having superior products. It is therefore critical to understand how great design can be achieved and what makes it so desirable.

A good way to start is by looking at some examples. While this blog will feature many different artists, there are three whose work I am particularly interested in: William Morris (1834-1896), Walter Gropius (1883-1969), and Dieter Rams (born 1932). Each of these men changed their respective fields forever by introducing a new aesthetic onto the scene that remains influential today. I will also look at other designers whose aesthetic I admire, even if they were not quite so groundbreaking as the above three.
