Jon Foreman is a British land artist.

Sincerity is a trait that almost every artist has, because art expresses the heart, and sincerity is inevitable. When I saw Jon Foreman's works, I was moved by the sense of nature that people live in nature, without excessive desires, and just want to be in communion with nature in this way. Jon Foreman's works are made of materials that come from nature, and then disappear after being reprocessed by nature, or blown down by the wind or washed away by the tide.

Jon Foreman began his journey in land art and sculpture when he was in college, but his own use of materials and creativity began a long time ago. Most of his works are created in a beautiful natural setting, such as the coastline of Pembrokeshire (Pembrokeshire, Pembrokeshire, is a county in southwestern Wales, England, bordered by the Irish Sea to the north and the Celtic Sea to the south). It has a total area of 1,590 square kilometers and a population of only 120,000). He grew up there, and the beauty of the coastline and woodlands was deeply ingrained in his heart.

As a creator of land art in all styles, Jon Foreman is always looking for something "different".

Whether working with stones or leaves, or even with materials such as broken glass, ashes and ordinary fragments, in the interior or on the beach, in abandoned environments.

His works vary in scale and may use stone or driftwood to create tiny things;It is also possible to pose a large sand chart 50 meters wide with sand.

Jon Foreman's work is ephemeral, and so is the work environment. Most commonly, the weather and climate can make his works disappear, and sometimes other people, such as tourists, interfere with his work. It's all part of the creative process, but it's also proven to be good for his work. What Jon Foreman does is not only what he loves, but also a kind of self-healing, freeing him from the stress of life.

Jon Foreman's sand and stone works are impressive, aren't they?But he also likes to work with another material – leaves. Let's go ahead and take a look!
