I Have Seen A few Sand Paintings,

normally in museums,


 but there is now a street artists, Joe Mangrum who has taken to the streets of New York, Chicago, San Francisco and elsewhere armed with sacks of coloured sand that he sprinkles by the handful to create sprawling temporary paintings, 


 each work is spontaneous in its design and evolves as Joe works, spending upwards of 6-8 hours hunched over the ground to complete each piece,


the artist estimates he’s completed nearly 550 paintings over the last few years, a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, limited edition prints are available through King Art Collective, I just hope he does not start work on a windy day! but what an amazing if unusual talent.
