Art That Grows From the Earth (9 Photos)
Content warning: Which one is your favorite?
There is a unique kind of magic that happens when an artist stops trying to compete with nature and starts collaborating with it. From quiet forest goddesses to surreal illusions that appear to “pinch” the very skin of the world, these sculptures don’t just sit on the landscape—they emerge from it.
In this collection, we explore works across the globe, from the lush gardens of England to the parks of Illinois and the mountains of Switzerland. Some hold living trees gently in their palms, while others transform with the seasons, disappearing under snow only to bloom again in the spring. All of them invite us to see the earth not just as a setting, but as a living, breathing canvas.

1. Hallow — Daniel Popper (Lisle, Illinois, USA)
Daniel Popper is known for his monumental figures, but “Hallow” feels particularly intimate despite its scale. This wooden figure stands with her chest pulled open, creating a literal doorway for visitors to step through. Surrounded by blooming pink trees, the sculpture suggests that the path to nature begins by opening our own hearts to it.

2. Mud Maid — Sue Hill (Cornwall, UK)
Resting in The Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Mud Maid is a “living” sculpture in the truest sense. Her “hair” and “skin” are made of seasonal plants and moss, meaning she changes her appearance throughout the year. She is a reminder that art in nature is never static; it grows, withers, and waits for the thaw just like the rest of the forest.

3. Give — Lorenzo Quinn
Lorenzo Quinn’s work often focuses on the human hand as a tool of both creation and destruction. In “Give,” two massive, pristine white hands emerge from the earth to cradle a single living tree. It’s a powerful visual metaphor for our responsibility as stewards of the environment—holding life with care rather than a clenched fist.
4. Clothespin — Mehmet Ali Uysal (Chaudfontaine, Belgium)
Art doesn’t always have to be solemn; sometimes it’s a giant joke played on the landscape. Mehmet Ali Uysal’s “Clothespin” makes the heavy, solid earth look as light as a piece of laundry. By “pinching” a mound of grass, the sculpture transforms a public park into a surreal, tactile playground.

5. Caring Hand — Eva Oertli & Beat Huber (Glarus, Switzerland)
Located in the heart of Glarus, this sculpture turns a tree into a protected treasure. The “Caring Hand” rises from the soil to wrap its fingers around the trunk, blending the industrial feel of the sculpture with the organic growth of the park. It’s a silent, permanent gesture of protection.

6. I’m Home!
Sometimes the most striking art is the kind you almost miss. By painting a face directly onto the split heart of a tree, the artist reveals a “soul” within the wood. The natural texture of the trunk becomes part of the portrait, making it look as though the figure has been hiding there all along, waiting for the bark to part.
7. UMI — Daniel Popper (Chicago, Illinois, USA)
“UMI” translates to “Mother” in Arabic, and this sculpture perfectly captures the concept of Mother Nature. Built with a skeleton of intertwined roots and branches, the figure appears to be in the middle of a slow, graceful ascent from the soil. It reminds us that we are not separate from the earth—we are made of the same stuff.

8. Flower Tube
What if the vibrant colors of a garden weren’t just grown, but “painted” onto the grass? This whimsical installation treats nature like a medium, with a giant paint tube squeezing out a river of orange marigolds. It’s a literal interpretation of the idea that nature is the ultimate artist.
9. Musco — Jon Foreman (Minwear Woods, Wales)
Jon Foreman’s land art is famously ephemeral. Using only what he finds on the forest floor—leaves, moss, stones, and soil—he creates intricate patterns that the wind or rain will eventually reclaim. “Musco” is a tribute to the geometry found in the wild, proving that even the most fleeting art can leave a lasting impression.

Sculptures That Blend With Nature (10 Photos)
Public art can make a plain place worth stopping for.
These sculptures use grass, trees, water, sand, and open space as part of the work.Here are 10 sculptures from around the world: a giant clothespin pinching the ground, a zipper opening a lawn, and a bench waiting in a slingshot. Small everyday ideas, made very large.

🪵 Skin 2 — By Mehmet Ali Uysal, originally in Chaudfontaine Park, Belgium 🇧🇪
Made for Parc Hauster in Chaudfontaine, near Liège, Belgium, Skin 2 looks like a wooden clothespin pinching the ground. Turkish artist Mehmet Ali Uysal turned a clothespin into a sculpture so large that the lawn becomes part of the work.💡 Nerd Fact: The original Chaudfontaine installation is no longer a regular park stop: Atlas Obscura now marks the site as permanently closed and notes that the sculpture was no longer in the park in its April 2022 update. The work still appears in gallery records: Pi Artworks lists Skin 2 as a 2010 sculpture measuring 700 × 800 cm, courtesy of the municipality of Liège.
🤲 HAND and PARK TREE (The Caring Hand) — By Eva Oertli and Beat Huber in Glarus, Switzerland 🇨🇭
In the Volksgarten in Glarus, Switzerland, the work known as The Caring Hand rises around a living tree. Beat Huber documents the installation as HAND and PARK TREE, realized with Eva Oertli. The oversized concrete fingers make the tree look held and protected.💡 Nerd Fact: Beat Huber says the idea began in 1990 as an art-in-architecture proposal for a new agricultural school, but it was shelved because there was not enough space or money. When it was finally made for Skulptura 04 in 2004, it was planned to last only four months. Public pressure changed that: private donors raised CHF 43,700, and Glarus received the hand as a gift from the public.

🏸 Shuttlecocks — By Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen in Kansas City, Missouri, USA 🇺🇸
In the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, giant badminton birdies sit in the grass. The work, called Shuttlecocks, was created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. It looks like a huge game stopped mid-rally and nobody came back to clean it up. The museum lists each shuttlecock as nearly 18 feet tall, about 16 feet across, and 5,500 pounds.💡 Nerd Fact: Oldenburg and van Bruggen’s idea was architectural, not just oversized. The Nelson-Atkins says they imagined the museum building as the badminton net and the lawn as the playing field, then placed four shuttlecocks as if a rally had frozen on both sides of the “net.”
🪟 Window with Ladder – Too Late for Help — By Leandro Erlich in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA 🇺🇸
Leandro Erlich’s Window with Ladder – Too Late for Help shows a white ladder leading to a brick wall with an open window. The wall appears to float above the field with no house attached. The work is now in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden at the New Orleans Museum of Art.💡 Nerd Fact: NOMA lists the work’s hidden support system as a steel underground structure, but the context is more serious than the engineering. It was first installed in 2008 in a vacant lot in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward for Prospect.1, in an area devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
🌳 Give — By Lorenzo Quinn, now in Pietrasanta, Italy 🇮🇹
Give by Italian artist Lorenzo Quinn shows two giant hands holding an tree. The hands sit low in the grass, making the tree look newly planted and protected.💡 Nerd Fact: Halcyon Gallery described Give (this time a olive tree) as a gift from Quinn and Halcyon Gallery to Pietrasanta, first unveiled in Florence’s Uffizi Gardens in 2020. Quinn’s biography says it later stood outside Palermo Cathedral before being permanently installed in Pietrasanta’s International Park of Contemporary Sculpture.

🚀 Schleudersitz — By Cornelia Konrads, made for Neustadt an der Donau, Germany 🇩🇪
German artist Cornelia Konrads built Schleudersitz with a wooden bench, rubber, steel cable, and the trees on site. It looks ready to launch across the grass. Sitting there might feel like trusting the artist a little too much.💡 Nerd Fact: The German title Schleudersitz means “ejection seat,” and the location made the joke sharper. Sculpture Network records the 2010 work as part of the Flying Objects exhibition on a former vineyard, now a leisure park, overlooking the Danube Valley.
🧷 Corridor Pin, Blue — By Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen in San Francisco, USA 🇺🇸
In the Barbro Osher Sculpture Garden at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, Corridor Pin, Blue stands over the garden like a sewing tool left in the wrong scale. Created by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, the blue base and long silver pin make it hard to miss.💡 Nerd Fact: This giant safety pin is not alone. NOMA’s collection lists another Corridor Pin, Blue as edition 3/3, while the Nasher Museum identifies an artist’s proof with the same 255 × 256 × 16 inch dimensions. The “tiny” domestic object has siblings in more than one city.
🤐 Zip — By Mark Richard Hall in the Hamptons, New York, USA 🇺🇸
This grass-and-water zipper is best identified as Zip, a private Hamptons commission by British sculptor Mark Richard Hall. The oversized metal zipper opens the lawn into a narrow water feature, making the garden look unzipped.💡 Nerd Fact: This image is an easy caption trap. It often circulates online as a Yasuhiro Suzuki sculpture in Tokyo, but stronger sources point to Hall. Mark Richard Hall’s own studio lists a commission called Zip in the Hamptons, and Architectural Digest identifies a stainless-steel zipper sculpture by Hall embedded in the grass at a Southampton home. Suzuki’s verified zipper work is the boat-based Zip-Fastener Ship, which uses a wake to “unzip” water.
🌸 Hallow — By Daniel Popper, formerly at The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, USA 🇺🇸
Daniel Popper’s Hallow is a monumental figure of a woman opening her chest. The hollow space inside is framed by hands, carved hair, and trees in bloom around the work. It was installed near Meadow Lake at The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois.💡 Nerd Fact: Hallow belonged to Popper’s Human+Nature exhibition, which the Morton Arboretum described as his first major U.S. exhibition and largest anywhere at the time. The Arboretum now notes that the exhibition has concluded, but Popper’s own text for the work connects Hallow to grief, self-expression, growth, and healing rather than a simple “nature goddess” reading.

🌀 Augere — By Jon Foreman, created at Druidston, Wales, UK 🇬🇧
Jon Foreman arranged natural stones in tight circles on the sand at Druidston, Wales. In a 2025 post, Foreman identified the work as Augere. The piece changes as the tide moves in. More: Amazing Sculptures by Jon Foreman! (12 Photos)💡 Nerd Fact: Foreman’s land art is not built to survive the coast. In an interview, he says the tide washes a work back to the tide line and he returns the next day to “an empty canvas”. So with pieces like Augere, disappearance is not a failure. It is part of the schedule.

When street art meets nature, the results are stunning. Some artists blend their murals seamlessly with the landscape, while others use real plants to bring their work to life.
In Ecuador, El Decertor painted a mural that merges with the natural surroundings. In Martinique, Nuxuno Xän turned a tree trunk into part of a painted figure. In New York, OGMillie created a floral mural that brightens the urban space. In Brazil, Fábio Gomes Trindade’s portraits use real bougainvillea as hair, while in Poland, Natalia Rak painted a girl appearing to water a living tree.
These works show how street art and nature can come together in unexpected and beautiful ways.

Lux Tenebris
Jon Foreman: Created at Pensarn, Abergele. This was the last piece I made in 2021! I was glad to have gotten the chance to work on a large scale again, it had been a while! As ever I had an idea that changed as I progressed but I love that this one has curves going horizontally and vertically with a kind of half pipe effect (a curved ramp of stones either side). Also very lucky to have had the chance to capture the sea engulfing it. Although it was coming in very fast it was coming very calmly which allowed me to get plenty of photos, got my feet wet for this shot!
Crescent
Jon Foreman: Created at Lindsway Bay, Pembrokeshire. I’m so used to following the circle round further that its hard to break the habit. Glad to have managed it with this one though! It really feels like it merges into the sand, which is something that I’m not sure I’ve succeeded in doing in the past. At least not as well as this one.
Dissicio Quadratum
Created at Freshwater West.
Circumflexus
Jon Foreman: Created for Llano Earth Art Fest Texas. This is the most intensive work I’ve created and took four days to complete! I initially started with the largest stones making the back of the circle, as the stones got smaller I began to realise the time that would be involved. I’d love to know how many there actually are! Photo by Laurence Winram Photography.
Fluidus
Jon Foreman: Yes it looks like a jellyfish, no its not meant to be one. I’m not trying to suppress any imagination but for me I’m essentially trying to create something that doesn’t yet exist so that attachment to something that does exist gets on my nerves haha also feels like its oversimplifying the work a bit… But call it what you want haha!This one was actually created before “Peruersum” (The 4 day piece created at LEAF) and is what Peruersum was based on. The difference being that I didn’t have the time fill a full circle for this one so I got the opportunity at LEAF. I love creating the familiarity between pieces of work without directly repeating something. Having said that, i don’t know that I could directly repeat a piece of work without it becoming a tiny bit different!
Also the sand was really annoying that day and every time I put a stone into the sand it created the cracks you can see between the stones, interesting effect i suppose
Acervus Circlus
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. I love working like this, finding colours that contrast well and placing on top of one another. Very satisfying work to do, showing freshwater Wests colours in a different way, although I usually add white too I thought amongst these white may stand out too much.
Expletio Duo
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. This piece is 1 in a 3 part set that I’m trying to get made. Many of you will have seen “Expletio” which is a single spiral using these same colours and this fractal style of working. I shall at some stage be creating the third in the set which will be a triple spiral in the same style! Anyway this one proved more fiddly than the previous version, I think I must have downscaled it a bit and that coupled with cold/windy weather made for difficult work. Got there in the end though!
Druid Spiral
Jon Foreman: Created at Druidston I love working with the slate at this beach, definitely has a different vibe and colour, I’ll have to get back there again soon!
Sinking Circle
Jon Foreman: Although I don’t consider myself an especially good photographer I’m very happy with how this one turned out, aside from the work itself looking good (and with this angle showing the incline more clearly) aside from the work I think I caught the atmosphere of the day which isn’t often very obvious in my work! Also love the water making the edge of the stones glow and they disappear into the distance, I’m all about depth within the sculpture why not outside the sculpture too.
Lumen
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. A couple of years back I created a very similar piece to this, the only difference being that the stones were previously placed flat. I feel the sense of movement is enhanced with them placed this way really radiating outward as they disperse.
Nether Flower
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. Couldn’t resist sharing this angle with the shadows! This one got a little bit messy in the middle because of the nature of the placement in the space available. I have to start in the middle and slot the next layer behind the previous so the more I add the less space there is in the small “hole” I made for this. So yeah they got a little bit squashed but I can live with that!
Above Below
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West. Another mushroom creation, couldn’t resist making use of the massive branch of driftwood. Again these are just stones balanced on sticks accept where they go over the driftwood. A fun one for sure… More mushrooms to come!
Shroom Sheet
Jon Foreman: Created at Freshwater West I’ve done quite a lot now with shrooms, yes they’re stones balanced on sticks, no – its not as difficult as it seems! .. until you start putting them very close together… But until creating this piece I’ve yet to work with them while incorporating colour (or more precisely colour change) as with this one! I’ll likely do more at some stage!
Obnatus Luna
Jon Foreman: These stones are often buried under the sand when there’s been particularly high tides so I have to hope they’re not buried every time!
Flos Tholus
Jon Foreman: At Freshwater West. The only plan I had was to make triangles that go from large in the middle to small on the outside, which, in essence is what i did. However it does really resemble the flower of life when seen from above. You’ll have to wait for that shot though! Stay tuned.
Direct
Jon Foreman: Direct, 2025. Created fairly recently (08/09/2025) at Poppit sands, a first for me making stoneworks. Had a great time that week with a bunch of Land Art friends, more work to come from that time and more shots of this work too! P.S its pretty big, those far strands of stones are longer than they look, its just the angle!More: 9 Leaf Sculptures That Stir the Soul in the Forest (Art by Jon Foreman)

“I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” by Banksy
Content warning: Banksy's iconic 'I Don’t Believe in Global Warming' artwork in Camden, London, delivers a bold climate message as its red graffiti text submerges under water, symbolizing rising sea levels and the urgent need for action.
“I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” first appeared on Regent’s Canal in London in 2009.
This visual metaphor is both striking and powerful, suggesting that denying climate change does nothing to halt its effects, which are visibly rising around us.
The timing of this piece was no coincidence. It emerged shortly after the Copenhagen UN Climate Summit, a meeting that many deemed unsuccessful in producing concrete solutions to global warming. By placing his message in such a context, Banksy underscored the world’s inadequate response to climate change.
More: Climate Change Addressed Through Street Art (16 Powerful Images)
Fast forward to 2024, and Banksy’s message is as relevant as ever.
The artwork has become a symbol frequently referenced during climate action events and discussions. During London Climate Action Week 2023, the piece was prominently highlighted to emphasize the ongoing struggle against climate change denial and the urgent need for collective action.
In 2024, the impacts of climate change are more visible and frequent. From severe weather events to rising sea levels, the urgency to act against global warming has never been more pronounced.
Banksy’s artwork embodies the sentiment of disbelief and denial that unfortunately still circulates in some parts of society. Yet, it also inspires hope, pushing the narrative that awareness and action can and must rise above the tide of denial.

Climate Change Addressed Through Street Art (16 Powerful Images)
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet, and artists are using graffiti and street art as a powerful means to address this global crisis.
In today’s blog post, we’ll explore 16 awe-inspiring images that not only capture the urgency of climate change but also inspire us to take action in our daily lives.1. Melting Ice: A Visual Reminder of Our Fragile Ecosystem
One powerful image that often appears in climate change-themed street art is the depiction of melting ice caps and glaciers. These striking visuals serve as a stark reminder of the rapid and devastating impact of global warming on our planet’s delicate ecosystems.Melting ice installations can make warming feel immediate — here’s one example:

3. Deforestation: The Disappearing Lungs of Our Planet
Street art that tackles deforestation brings attention to the alarming rate at which we are losing Earth’s precious forests – our planet’s lungs. These powerful images drive home the importance of preserving our natural resources and the urgent need for reforestation efforts.By Dr Love at Upfest – In Bristol, England
Martín Ron: The causes? Many: Extreme climate change, drought, deforestation, reduction of wetlands and a lot of disinterest in asking ourselves questions. The consequences? Too many. This mural is part of a new series of murals in which I am working where the protagonist is the reflection. And how opportune to get involved to invite you to reflect on what happens when a river runs out of water.
4. Flooding: When Water Reaches the Streets
As seas rise and storms push water further inland, flooding is becoming a brutal reality for coastal cities. This kind of work makes the threat feel physical — not theoretical — and reminds us what’s at stake when the water keeps climbing.Support – By Italian sculptor Lorenzo Quinn in Venice, Italy.
