Temporary art
4-2-2013
Tony Plant is a time based, environmental artist and photographer whose imagination stretches to the corners of the coastline in the UK. For over 20 years he has made Guerrilla style installations in sand, snow or rocks. These paintings in sand are washed away by tide. With the gorgeous beaches in The Netherlands as well we could keep competitions like who makes the best temporary painting instead of sandsculptures. And for hotels with privat beaches, this kind of art can be done during cleaning the beach in the morning. It will make your guests smile. Watch the movie about the making of a sandpainting. Also see Beach pattern in Spain.
