American artist Will Westmor founding member of Greenism or the Greenist art movement is the first fine artist to produce gallery art with solar panels that can power a home. Current trends in art such as low brow and street art promote graffiti and stencil art which destroy property as well as unleashes chemicals and fluoro carbons from spray paint. This trend which is not considered a movement is the opposite of what the greenist theory is trying to promote. Futurism is no longer a victory of man over nature and pop art is 40 years old as well as being self serving and banal.The greenist art utilizes organic and non organic material as a medium and in some cases can be used as an alternative power source.Both cleansing the earth from decades of damage and eliminating non green energy as well as waste. This art form is not tied to any political party or driven by monetary gains however it is not a non profit pursuit unless chosen to be. The content can range from both representational and non representational abstract art, but is not based on any previous art or idea which takes land art to a new level. Will Westmor states '' A movement cannot be planned it just happens when there is a void that needs to be filled. To say your going to start a movement sounds contrived and claiming a certain style as a movement which is based on marketing or a media promotion will not work.'' This type of art is fueled by a cause which not only can add an aesthetic value to a surrounding but can save valuable resources as well. The green movement already in place which is not related to an art movement does act as a base.The Greenist art movement is seperated by not being involved with a political organization or big business thus making art in a pure form.
