Tractor Creates Amazing Sand Art on the Beach

August 8th, 2012 by Lina | No Comments | Filed in Design

Do you remember the amazing sand drawings by Andres Amador and Jim Denevan? This time, instead of using rakes or driftwood, Swedish artist Gunilla Klingberg decided to take it to the next level by using a tractor.

Gunilla attached a special star pattern made of tyre threads to a metal cylinder of the tractor that cleans Laga beach in Spain. Following the lunar and tidal calendar, the pattern is remade again and again at all possible days at low tide. “A Sign in Space” is performed on dates when the tidal calender is synchronized with the the beach cleaners early morning working schedule- the pattern is created on days when the low tide hour fits the labour working hours.

The project is a part of the international contemporary art project, Sense and Sustainability, which takes place from July 21 to September 23, 2012, at the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve.

Stunning Sand Drawings by Andres Amador

March 21st, 2012 by Lina | No Comments | Filed in Design

San Francisco-area based landscape artist Andres Amador creates amazing large-scale sand paintings on beaches using only a rake and some help from volunteers.

“My dream is to do my artwork in locations around the world and to bring more people into the creative act with me,” says the artist.

We’ve already featured some Sand Drawings by Jim Denevan and Snow Paintings by Sonja Hinrichsen before, but it still amazes me how many hours are spent creating something so large yet impermanent as these beach drawings. According to Amador’s website, the artist and his pupils have only 2 hours to do their thing before the tide returns.

Amazing Sand Drawings on California Beaches

July 20th, 2011 by Bored Panda | No Comments | Filed in Design

American sand artist Jim Denevan (born 1961) spends hours to create the most beautiful and probably the most impermanent drawings on the North California beaches.

A surfer, and a self-taught chef creates his breathtaking geometric sand sculptures freehand with a length of driftwood during the period of low tide.

Over the past 17 years Jim has composed hundreds of unique sand drawings at beach locations in California and around the world, however you can only see them in pictures as they last only as long as the next high tide.

So, if you ever wonder what to do with your spare time on the beach – just find a good stick and you’re set.
