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!

24 Times SMUG Made Walls Look More Real Than Life

In Glasgow, Scotland.

---

I’ve always been drawn to SMUG’s art—there’s just something amazing about how he brings everyday faces to life on such a massive scale.

Known worldwide for his super-realistic portraits, SMUG’s murals are incredibly detailed and often tower up to 14 stories high! His work isn’t just impressive; it’s a mix of creativity and skill, with each piece telling its own story through light, shadow, and careful detail.

When SMUG starts a mural, he’s not just copying a photo; he’s adapting to the wall in front of him. Every wall, with its own texture and quirks, becomes part of the artwork. Seeing him turn these challenges into part of the art is what makes his work so incredible.

SMUG: Wirrabara, South Australia. One of my most challenging murals to date. I can’t imagine anyone actually enjoys painting 30m tall murals on a curved surface but, contrary to just about everything I said when I finally finished this, I’m kind of keen to do another one! Haha! I love rural Australia and really regret that I didn’t have more time to spend there to fully appreciate it.

SMUG: My wall for this years Artscape project in Partille, Göteborg. This year we were given a folk tale to base our murals on and I was given the tale of Revontulet. In the Finnish origin story of the Aurora Borealis a firefox wins favor of the villagers by igniting the sky with the Northern Lights to help a lost hiker find his way in the icy woods. This is now the tallest mural in Sweden and whispers are saying the tallest in Scandinavia.

Mural paying tribute to farmers by Smug in Lameroo, Australia for Lameroo Silo Art. Curated by Juddy Roller.

Lameroo Silo Art: The incredible Lameroo Silo Art Project is officially completed on the Eastern Viterra Silo, in Lameroo, South Australia. The mural was completed in just 3 weeks, by the extraordinarily talented Sam ‘SMUG’ Bates, at the heels of art curators Juddy Roller! This artwork beautifully reflects Lameroo’s rich farming routes, paying tribute to the resilience of our pioneering farmers, in establishing life and livelihood. The picture aims to capture the essence of the Mallee farmer—a symbolic representation of unwavering spirit and hope, which is still alive in our community today.

1. Sogno — By LIGAMA in Ravanusa, Italy

A giant boy appears to crawl across the wall, peering into a mirror that seamlessly blends into the ground below. His shirt reads “Sogno” (dream), adding a symbolic layer to this hyper-realistic mural.

2. Hallow — Daniel Popper in Lisle, Illinois, USA

A monumental wooden sculpture of a woman gently opens her chest to reveal an empty space within. Surrounded by flowering trees, the piece conveys a sense of calm and introspection.

3. Three Horses — By Łukasz Kieł in Amsterdam, Netherlands

A monochromatic mural features three highly detailed horse heads emerging from a floral composition of roses and leaves. The soft shading gives it the look of a classical pencil drawing.

4. Nadine and the Chartreuse Respite — By David Zinn in USA

A small mouse named Nadine leans back peacefully against a tree trunk painted on a sidewalk. The leaves of a real green plant complete the canopy, forming a perfect natural shade for this quiet reading moment. More!: Happy Art by David Zinn! (15 Photos)

5. Curious Child

A towering mural depicts a boy using a magnifying glass to inspect something on the ground. The real person walking below enhances the sense of scale, turning the wall into a playful scene.

6. Fishing Shadow — By Louis DUPART in Boissy-Saint-Léger, France

A man and dog sit high on a wall, fishing into the void, while their shadows stretch down toward apartment windows. The placement plays with perspective and light.

---

7. Ocean Encounter — By SEYB in Indre-et-Loire, France

This deep blue mural brings a shark to life as it swims toward the viewer through beams of sunlight. The 3D-style rendering gives the illusion of depth and movement.

🔗 Follow SEYB on Instagram

---

8. Stacked Lives — By Klaus Klinger in Düsseldorf, Germany

A colorful wall of miniature apartments shows dozens of lively characters in exaggerated, cartoonish style. From daily routines to humorous vignettes, each section tells its own story.

---

9. Echoes of Harmony by Studio Giftig in Eindhoven, the Netherlands

Music is the universal language connecting people and cultures, regardless of their background or situation. The mural on Muziekgebouw Eindhoven’s facade portrays the merger of two worlds: an embrace between a street musician and a concert violinist. The artwork symbolizes the power of music to break down barriers and unite communities.

🔗 Follow Studio Giftig on Instagram

---

10. Mural by Carles Arola in Calonge, Spain

This large-scale mural turns a flat facade into a detailed village scene with balconies, townspeople, a white horse, and even wine barrels in an open cellar. Every element is rendered to match the stone wall texture, blending history and realism into the environment. More photos here!

11. Flame Keepers — Mandi Caskey in Seneca Falls, New York

Mural by Mandi Caskey at 37 Fall Street in Seneca Falls, birthplace of the women’s rights movement in the United States. It shows two women passing a flame between their hands. The older woman wears a sash reading “1848 Vote for Women.” The background includes a crescent moon, clouds, and white butterflies.

Mandi Caskey: Tribute to the enduring fight for women’s rights across generations. This mural captures an intimate moment of exchange. A suffragette passing a living flame into the hands of a modern woman. The fire represents knowledge, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for justice and equity. The suffragette’s steady presence honors the women of Seneca Falls who fought to secure the right to vote, while the younger woman receives the flame with reverence and determination, carrying that light forward into a more inclusive future. Both figures rise from the water, a symbol of rebirth and the roots of Seneca Falls, where the first Women’s Rights Convention reshaped history. Her sash belongs to the past. Her buttons belong to the present. And the moths gather in remembrance, for everyone, who gave their life to the cause. Let’s keep the light burning for all.

12. Guardian of Home — Ilia Malomoshchenko in Vologda, Russia

A tall mural depicting a woman wrapped in a patterned shawl, standing against the facade of a residential building. Her clothing is composed of detailed scenes showing houses, interiors, decorative motifs, and a small boat at the bottom.

Found Street Art Cleverly Using Its Surroundings (15 Photos)

Plot twist: The best street art collaborators are already built into the city.

These artists turned giant sharks stranded on land, traffic signs, staircases, and entire buildings into their own surreal street art.

---

🌿 “Planté là” — By Levalet in Paris, France 🇫🇷

Levalet makes this Paris wall feel wonderfully unstable. The figure seems to tumble straight into a painted plant-shadow, while the real foliage above finishes the joke and turns the whole corner into one seamless visual trick.

💡 Nerd Fact: The title works like a French wordplay: Mazel Galerie translates it as “Plant here,” while “planter là” can also mean leaving someone standing there or dumping them on the spot. So the joke starts in the language before it even starts on the wall.

🦈 Blue Shark Boat — By Xanoy

This is exactly the kind of piece that makes you stop and blink. Xanoy turns an old boat into a giant shark, and suddenly a useless object in the landscape becomes a surreal creature that looks like it washed ashore in the wrong world.

🍃 Moss Graffiti — By Carly Schmitt

Carly Schmitt keeps this one beautifully quiet. The deer feels less painted than grown, as if it just appeared beside the doorway on its own and decided the wall needed a little more life.

🌍 Floating Earth — By Luke Jerram in London, UK 🇬🇧

Luke Jerram takes a familiar image and makes it feel totally uncanny. The illuminated planet floating in dark water looks both monumental and fragile, turning the city around it into a temporary orbit.

💡 Fun Fact: The “Floating Earth” artwork uses detailed, real NASA imagery rendered at a scale of exactly 1.8 million times smaller than the actual planet.

🐍 The Golden Legend — By SFHIR in Guarda, Portugal 🇵🇹

SFHIR saw a staircase and apparently thought, what if this was a serpent’s natural habitat? The result is a mural that fits the architecture so perfectly it feels like the snake has always been coiled through the concrete.

---

🌿 Ivy Portrait — By Fauxreel in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦

Fauxreel lets the wall do half the work and the ivy do the rest. The greenery becomes hair, shadow, costume, and atmosphere all at once, which makes the portrait feel less placed on the wall than discovered inside it.

💡 Nerd Fact: Fauxreel’s work is site-led by design: Dan Bergeron says the shape, texture, location, and history of a place dictate what he makes there. That fits perfectly with an artist whose portraits often come out of photography, social observation, and giving visibility to people in public space.

📚 Bookshelf Building — By Jan Is De Man in Solnechnodolsk, Russia 🇷🇺

Jan Is De Man is a master of making buildings pretend to be something else. Here, a plain apartment block becomes an oversized bookshelf full of local favorites, and the entire facade suddenly feels warmer, smarter, and way more playful.

More: 8 Happy 3D Artworks by Jan Is De Man That Will Make You Smile

💡 Fun Fact: When Jan Is De Man paints his giant bookshelves, he doesn’t just invent random titles. He actually knocks on the doors of the people living in the building and asks for their favorite books, then paints those exact covers on the facade.

More: Bookshelf Building on Street Art Utopia | Jan Is De Man on Instagram

---

🪵 Carved Facade — By Vhils in Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹

Vhils does not paint over a surface so much as excavate it. The portrait and branch-like textures feel embedded in the building’s own history, as if the wall had been carrying this image the whole time.

💡 Urban Nerd Fact: Vhils’ whole method comes from seeing city walls as archives. On his official bio, he explains that growing up around Lisbon’s rapid redevelopment made him notice how walls absorb social and historical change, which is why he removes layers instead of adding them: he treats the surface like urban memory.

More: Vhils in Porto on Street Art Utopia | Vhils on Instagram

---

🌱 Oxygen Tree — By Dr Love in Bristol, England 🇬🇧

This one is simple, sharp, and impossible to forget. Dr Love turns a little patch of real moss into the crown of a tree and suddenly the entire piece becomes about that living things are not decorative extras, they are the air.

💡 Eco Nerd Fact: This fits a bigger thread in Dr Love’s work: in Tbilisi, he has used murals to raise awareness about air pollution, and a Bristol breath-themed exhibition later described this Upfest piece as exploring the relationship between humans and their environment.

More: Dr Love at Upfest on Street Art Utopia

---

🐙 Waterworld — By Sandrine Boulet in Saint-Cast-le-Guildo, France 🇫🇷

Sandrine Boulet sees tiny ecosystems where most people see cracks and weeds. That is what makes this little octopus so satisfying: the real plants become perfect tentacles, and a broken seam in the wall turns into a miniature tide pool.

💡 Nerd Fact: Sandrine Estrade Boulet’s whole practice is basically built on the idea of “look in a different way” — that exact phrase appears on her own site. Profiles of her work also note that she often uses temporary, damage-free tweaks to everyday street details, so this tiny octopus feels less like a random joke and more like her entire artistic philosophy in miniature

---

🚧 Sign Intervention — By Clet Abraham in London, England 🇬🇧

Clet Abraham has a special talent for making official signs feel weirdly human. With just a tiny added character, the red no-entry symbol turns into a miniature scene, and suddenly street furniture becomes part of the city’s sense of humor.

💡 Sign Nerd Fact: Clet’s altered road signs are usually made with removable vinyl stickers, and he’s explicit that they should not destroy the sign’s original meaning. That’s why his best interventions feel clever rather than chaotic: they work like visual translations, not vandalized instructions.

📦 Box of Imagination — By Wild Drawing in Cheltenham, UK 🇬🇧

Wild Drawing turns this building into a giant opened package and somehow makes the illusion feel totally natural. The ribbon snakes around the architecture, the wall becomes the box, and the whole thing feels like imagination physically spilling into the street.

💡 Bright Yellow Light — By (fos) in Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸

This is such a smart little reality hack. (fos) takes an ordinary lamp and exaggerates its glow into a bold geometric beam, making the entire storefront look like it has been switched from normal life into a graphic novel.

💡 Design Nerd Fact: “(fos)” was both the collective’s name and the title of its first installation, and the word itself means “light” in Greek and “melted” in Catalan. Even better, the Madrid piece was temporary — the facade only stayed “lit” for four days and nights.

⚪ Circle and Series of Shards — By Felice Varini in Vercorin, Switzerland 🇨🇭

Felice Varini is one of the great magicians of perspective. From the right viewpoint the village clicks into a perfect graphic composition, and from almost anywhere else it falls apart into fragments again.

💡 Process Nerd Fact: Varini often maps these works by projecting the geometry onto the site at night with a powerful projector and tracing it with his team. He has also described the ideal spot as a “reading point,” which is a very Varini way of saying the viewer has to learn how to read the architecture.

🐯 Tiger Bites a Tree — By Koka Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico 🇲🇽

Koka Mexico does not just paint next to the tree, he recruits it. The trunk becomes the exact thing the tiger is chomping on, which makes the mural feel playful, physical, and perfectly locked to its location.

About SMUG from Vantage Point Radio (click link to here a podcast with SMUG):

SMUG is, and has been for many years, one of the leaders in the clubhouse when it comes to realistic portrait murals. His output is beyond impressive and the number of murals he paints in a year is almost unbelievable, but to him… “it’s just what I do.” His massive portraits can span anywhere from one story to 14 stories high but the detail and crispness of the image is the same every time. Over decades of painting walls, SMUG has developed a distinctive and immediately recognizable style which is not always easy for someone who paints realistically. His selection of slightly unconventional models and more importantly his very specific use of light and shadow are undeniably SMUG and exquisitely executed every time.

What are your inspirations or what inspires you?

Annatomix: I get inspiration for my work from a huge variety of places, but my main focus is around the relationship between humanity and nature – such as how humanity tries to force nature to do what it wants, and how futile that is.

I read a lot and I particularly enjoy philosophy, theology and mythology – the more ancient, the better – and this also has a big influence on what I create.
