Drawing inspiration from the natural world around him, artist Jon Foreman produces breathtaking artwork that leaves viewers in awe. Exploring beaches, he discovers rocks of diverse shapes and sizes, skillfully arranging them into mesmerizing designs on the ground. Through the clever use of various stones, he masterfully captures a sense of motion within his static creations. This involves carefully stacking and positioning each individual piece based on its size, resulting in wave-like formations that beautifully echo their coastal origins.

By working in land art, Foreman is at the mercy of what the environment has to offer. But rather than seeing this as a limiting factor, the UK-based creative sees opportunity. In a piece created at Gelliswick beach in Pembrokeshire, he incorporates a new color into his palette—a red tone. “That sea-washed Brick is a great color to mix in with the more obvious stone colors like grey and brown,” he writes. “Will likely be working here more often now!” The hue adds yet another dimension to his incredible compositions.Because all of Foreman’s work is installed in public, its time is often limited. The only way in which we are able to enjoy his assemblages long-term is through photographs. Foreman sells prints of his work through his SmugMug shop.

Doing so creates a wave formation, which is fitting considering it’s where a majority of these pieces reside.
