About

Environmental artist Tony Plant is renowned for creating vast swirling sand drawings on beaches throughout Cornwall – armed with just a standard garden rake. Inevitably, they are washed away by the tide but he later transposes each of these pieces into partner paintings made in his studio.

Tony Plants 2D wall sculptures are constructed of lines and pattern, layers of paint, assembled canvas and reclaimed wood. Each piece is a place, a walk he repeats night and day, sometimes for days, mapping the trail in his head. Plant captures the sense of place and sometimes bringing back reclaimed items found on the way. His work is a wonderful celebration of the ever-changing coastal environment and a reminder that impermanence can be treasured.
