Abstract

Art has revealed new formations by being influenced by sociocultural factors affecting the society from the beginning to the present day. Since the 20th century, factors affecting society have also affected Art. Postmodern art movements first started in the USA in the 1950s and with this formation, they gave an intellectual meaning to the work of art. Nature has taken the form of an art object where contemporary art practices can be applied and has become a part of art. In this context, the reflection of the concept of nature on art as a result of sociocultural factors has been examined with its different aspects, the concept of nature and the factors that affect the formation of art objects are emphasized. For this purpose, the artworks of two Turkish artists Alper Aydın and Elmas Deniz, which were seen to reflect the art understanding of the period, were evaluated. Both artists used all the data of nature as a primary art element by fictionalizing its changing form. Alper Aydın made studies by benefiting from the history of society, people, archeology and geological structure through the relationship between the concept of body and nature. Elmas Deniz used nature as a space, reflecting the destruction of nature by capitalism and ecological concern. In the works of both artists, the factors of nature-art relationship are highly emphasized. In this research, two Turkish artists Alper Aydın and Elmas Deniz, who are seen to reflect the art understanding of the postmodern period we are in, examined the destruction of urban waste and the capitalist process affecting natural resources in terms of installation, performance and land art practices, and contemporary art works related to nature and art. . It aimed to reveal the relationship between nature and the concept of art.
