A Planet in Distress, Told Through an Immersive Art Experience

LONDON - Sept. 28, 2021 - PRLog -- FprBuro Communications is proud to present Russian-born, London-based artist, Natalia Kapchuk (b. 1984) in the debut of her first solo exhibition series, The Lost Planet, featuring more than thirty environmentally conscious works and an animated video installation, at Unit X space in London.

The Lost Planet series tells the tale of the wonders of our world, juxtaposed to its slow demise under the grip of human activity. Earth, a glimmering celestial body, is tarnished by the ongoing presence of ocean and air pollution, industrialization, deforestation, and the encroaching hands of consumerism. Contrasting the natural beauty of our planet and its divine placement in the cosmos, to the harmful impacts we as humans place on the lands we call home, Kapchuk emphasizes the immediate need for heightened awareness and drastic change through her works.

Divided into two sections, the first half of The Lost Planet exhibition is dedicated to the elements of innovation and the beauty of nature in differing ecosystems and corners of the world. The second focuses on the negative impacts mankind places on the Earth and its oceans, from the threats of plastic waste, fish netting and oil refined products, to that of light pollution and atmospheric destruction. Using various mediums, Natalia Kapchuk uses both natural and industrially resourced materials such as tree bark, sand, natural stones, and fermented moss, with polymers, resi-crete, gilding, metal chips and reclaimed plastics.

The exhibition is staged in close collaboration with leading environmental charities Plastic Oceans Europe, and Earthwatch Europe. During the event, experts from Plastic Oceans Europe, Earthwatch Europe, and the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) will hold a discussion panel entitled: Is this Planet Earth's Dying Century?. These organizations unite in bringing awareness to important issues affecting the environment and the future of planet Earth.

The Lost Planet exhibition will take place from 15th-27th October 2021 (12-8pm), at The Stables, 40 Earlham St, London WC2H 9LH
