Theo Jansen







I just discovered this amazing work (via 2 or 3 things blog).

It's from the dutch artist Theo Jansen. In a former life he mainly sticked to painting, but now (10 years already) he is dedicated to these immense, surreal and beautiful new nature, called strandbeesten.
Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic matierial of this new nature. He makes skeletons which are able to walk on the wind. Eventualy he wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.

I am just blown away by these amazing pieces of art and great talent.
