Amazing Large-Scale Drawings In Sand By Jim Denevan

Have you already heard of Jim Denevan or seen his artwork? Jim Denevan (born 1961) is an American chef and artist who creates temporary land art. He works with natural materials to create massive scale drawings in sand, ice, and soil. His sculptures are not placed in the landscape, rather, the landscape is the means of their creation. Often aerial photography or video is needed to comprehend the final work. He is also the founder of Outstanding in the Field, a traveling farm dinner series.

This guy, who is also a surfer, creates large scale drawings in sand that are nothing short of amazing. The drawings are mostly created by dragging a stick on the ground. By using only this single stick of wood wet, Jim Denevan makes huge geometric shapes in the sand, which for some may take up to seven hours of work! Generally composed of circles and lines, it is a real mammoth task and patience. His amazing drawings in the sand art is done on a very large scale. Everything Jim does seems to be 100% perfection like the images in this gallery show.

 

The largest artwork in history

The only sand drawing that was not done using only sticks but with the addition of vehicles. But we have to forgive the artist for that because this large piece was completed on the Salt Flats in Nevada and could be seen from space.  The work no longer exists as weather has gradually erased the image.
