If you ask someone what they think makes art so special, they are likely to tell you that it is the creative aspect and the sensual aspect of art that makes it so special. This is true and makes sense too but one of the things that makes art so wonderful to so many according to us, is the fact that it has no limits or limitations. We don’t know whether you agree with us or not, but we are planning to make a convincing case of this point in this article. In this article, we are going to be talking about art that is larger than life in the sense that instead of limiting itself to a canvas or a particular material it is using land or natural features to showcase the creativity of the artist. We are talking about land art installations in this article. It is only when you look at these stunning land art installations will you realize that these are immense works of art that seem to own the land on which they have been made without dominating them. This is probably due to the fact that the land is part of the art as much as the art is part of the land and one could not imagine one without the other once one has seen it.

In many instances, especially when it comes to classical art, sculptures lean more towards suggestive, symbolic and indicative rather than realistic. But in this article we are talking about figurative sculptures that are astonishingly lifelike. It not like these gleaming and glowing delicate glass sculptures but still mesmerizing nevertheless.
