Sand as a symbol of time slipping through your fingers, sand as a symbol of fragility and suddenness, sand as a memory of summer, sea and beach, sand as a tool for creativity … It has many purposes, it is like plasticine for those who know how to properly handle it … So, the Japanese Ako Tsubaki creates paintings of colored sand, Buddhist monks - ritual mandalas, sand play, a unique performance can be arranged by the Ukrainian artist Ksenia Simonova. An artist named Joe Mangrum … This artist is amazingly talented in everything he undertakes. Indeed, until 2009, he did not even consider sand as a possible tool for creativity, preferring traditional styles and methods. But today Joe Mangrum is known to almost the entire modern society as the author of extraordinary sand ornaments, albeit short-lived, but exceptionally beautiful, bright and colorful, like the exotic flowers of a skilled gardener. By the way, this comparison is used here for a reason: almost all of the artist's installation paintings depict flowers or other plants. Moreover, the author draws them without preliminary preparation, he has no diagrams, no drawings, no sketches. Only improvisation, only creativity, only momentary inspiration.
Many will surely sigh, they say, it's a pity that this is not for long. But the fragility of the paintings does not upset the artist at all, but rather, on the contrary, attracts him, inspires and stimulates him. Spontaneity, ephemerality, interactivity of the paintings are the highlights of this art project. Joe Mangrum is already enough that his work surprises and pleases the audience in the person of casual passers-by or visitors to shopping and entertainment centers. And most importantly, he is doing what he loves - is this not happiness for an ordinary person?
The author decorates not only city streets and squares of the USA with amazing flower ornaments made of multi-colored sand. He paints custom-made floor mosaics in the premises of museums and entertainment centers, arranges vivid performances at festivals and personal exhibitions. You can watch the birth of a painting from the sand in the video:
