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.

45 Cats – Purrrrrfect Street Art Pieces

Cats have a special talent for taking over cities. Street artists clearly love them just as much as we do!

This collection shows how many forms cat art can take in public spaces. We have gathered giant lifelike murals, glowing paste-ups, sculptures, stained glass, graffiti stickers, painted rocks, and snowy little interventions.

Some of these cats hide in boxes. Others stretch across entire buildings. A few only need simple graffiti lines to steal the scene. Scroll through our ultimate cat list and move from huge 3D street art pieces to tiny, unforgettable street moments.

📦 Cardboard Box Cat — By Nego in Torrellas, Zaragoza, Spain 🇪🇸

Nego turns an ordinary building corner into a giant cardboard box. The cat peeks out as if the whole house has become a toy. It is funny, smart, and perfectly scaled to make the street feel more playful.

💡 Nerd Fact: This joke lands even harder because it taps into real cat behavior. Utrecht University notes that cats with access to simple hiding boxes adapt faster to stressful environments, so the cardboard box is not just a joke. It is also the kind of hiding place cats actually use to feel safer.

🐈 Gatet Gegant — By Oriol Arumí in Torrefarrera, Catalonia, Spain 🇪🇸

🔴 The Red Cat — By LeHo Artwork in Taipei, Taiwan 🇹🇼

This glowing cat was presented in LeHo Artwork’s post about the mural as part of the 幻獸 series for Taipei’s lantern festival, which helps explain why the cat feels warm, luminous, and slightly unreal. The 3D illusion makes it seem as if the red body is radiating straight out from the wall.

🗽 Tombili — By Seval Şahin in Kadıköy, Istanbul, Turkey 🇹🇷

Not every great cat piece needs to be painted on a wall. According to Kadıköy Municipality, sculptor Seval Şahin made the statue voluntarily, and it was installed at the spot in Ziverbey where Tombili became famous for this relaxed pose. It turns a beloved neighborhood stray into a permanent piece of urban memory.

💡 Nerd Fact: Tombili’s monument became its own mini civic saga. Kadıköy Municipality says it only happened after a 17,000-signature campaign, and Hürriyet Daily News later reported that the statue was stolen and returned days later after public outrage.

🐾 Squishee the Alleycat — By SWIFTMANTIS in Papaioea, New Zealand 🇳🇿

This is not just a realistic cat portrait. On the artist’s official mural page, SWIFTMANTIS explains that Squishee was a real local alley cat living under their old brick studio in Palmy before eventually earning a home with them. Painted for Street Prints: Papaioea 2020, the mural carries that real affection as much as the technical skill.

💡 Nerd Fact: Squishee’s story kept growing after the mural was finished. On the artist’s own print page, SWIFTMANTIS says later editions became a memorial print with Squishee’s real paw print, and 10% of sales go to Manawatu Alley Cats Trust.

😸 Pelle Svanslös and Maja Gräddnos — By Charlie Granberg in Uppsala, Sweden 🇸🇪

Charlie Granberg gives Pelle Svanslös and Maja Gräddnos a bright and friendly presence, but the mural is bigger and more site-specific than it first looks. Destination Uppsala highlights it as a 15-meter mural of Peter-No-Tail and Molly Cream-Nose in Påvel Snickares Gränd, which makes it feel completely at home in the city that gave the character life.

💡 Nerd Fact: Pelle’s stories carry more history than the phrase “beloved children’s cat” might suggest. The official Pelle Svanslös site says the character began on Uppsala radio in 1937, and the books quietly folded in wartime Sweden through blackout rules, ration cards, and even a Danish cat nickname that plays on Quisling.

♻️ Iberian Lynx — By BORDALO II in Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹

BORDALO II does not just depict a lynx. He builds it out of the waste we leave behind. That makes this street art animal both beautiful and unsettling, and it makes the environmental message hard to miss.

💡 Nerd Fact: This animal choice hits even harder now. Reuters reported that the Iberian lynx was moved from Endangered to Vulnerable in 2024, while BORDALO II’s own Big Trash Animals statement says the whole series is built on the contradiction of using waste to depict creatures whose habitats are damaged by waste.

The painted leaves make that real cat feel like it is quietly spying on the city from its own green hideout.

🚐 All Cats Are Beautiful — By Pro Boy Nick in Unknown Location 🌍

The charm here is how temporary the art is. Pro Boy Nick turns a dirty van window into a surprisingly elegant cat portrait. It proves that even street grime can become a pretty great canvas.

💡 Nerd Fact: This sits inside a broader street-art lineage sometimes called reverse graffiti. In a Guardian piece on Paul “Moose” Curtis, the method is described as making an image by removing grime instead of adding paint, which means the drawing is literally made out of the clean parts.

💡 Cat Lights — By Unknown Artist in Zelenogradsk, Russia 🇷🇺

These cat lights are not a typical graffiti mural, but they show how deeply feline culture is built into Zelenogradsk’s public space. The official Visit Kaliningrad guide describes Kurortny Avenue as a street full of cat-themed urban details, including cat traffic lights, murals, and even a Cat Museum. It is public art, local identity, and pure charm all rolled into one small detail.

💡 Nerd Fact: Zelenogradsk did not stop at cute cat details. The official Visit Kaliningrad guide says the town’s cat museum helped set the feline theme for the whole place, and its event calendar even lists “Zelenogradsk Cat’s Birthday” on March 1.

🐈 Katzenstele — By Siegfried Neuenhausen in Braunschweig, Germany 🇩🇪

This monument has a very different energy from the murals in this post. The Städtisches Museum Braunschweig identifies it by its official title, Katzenstele, and notes that the large sculpture has been part of Braunschweig’s cityscape since 1981. It feels solemn and affectionate at the same time.

💡 Nerd Fact: This monument is so woven into Braunschweig that the city still plans around it. In a 2023 document, Braunschweig described the Katzenstele as a popular photo motif and a special attraction for children, which is why officials approved work on a new pedestal to keep bins and bikes from crowding it.

🐱 Banksy’s Gaza Kitten — By Banksy in Gaza, Palestine 🇵🇸

This piece hits hard because the kitten is playful while the setting is anything but. ABC News reported that the mural was painted on the remains of a home in Beit Hanoun destroyed during the 2014 war in Gaza. That contrast makes the image impossible to take casually.

💡 Nerd Fact: The kitten was never meant to function as a standalone mural. Reuters noted that Banksy folded it into a satirical mini-video about Gaza and said he used a kitten because people online click on cats when they would otherwise scroll past destruction.

When Street Art Meets Nature (40 Photos)

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.

Nature-inspired street art can be a powerful means of drawing attention to endangered species and emphasizing the importance of preserving natural habitats. By using their talents, street artists can become advocates for environmental conservation and ignite conversations about our shared responsibility to protect the planet.

Creating a Sense of Place: Street Art Trails and Tourism

Street art can be used to design nature trails, where visitors can explore the environment while admiring artistic masterpieces. These trails promote tourism, allowing visitors to learn about the local ecosystem, culture, and history while appreciating the art. The fusion of street art and nature can foster a deep connection with the location and enhance the overall experience.

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!
