# Nifty Natural Sculptures Sylvain Meyer Turns Landscapes into a World of Artistic Settings By Kevin Young | Published 2012-06-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvain-meyer References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/land-art-by-sylvain-meyer/) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/people/gambastyle/) Sylvain Meyer is a french artist who has a creative touch when it comes to transforming landscapes. This series is entitled ‘Land Art’ and it’s a combination of [modified trees, landscapes and sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany) in which Meyer spectacularly crafted with his own hands. The setting takes place in wooded areas and rocky terrains where Meyer uses only materials Mother Nature provides. Who knew a simple [bundle of sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree) could create such [amazing sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog)? The artist lines the materials in intricate designs that usually curve and twist to create drastic effects. Meyer cleverly uses the landscape’s sloped hills to create land art that looks as if it protrudes out and is extremely tall. None of the photographs have been modified using Photoshop and even the moss-filled spider is entirely hand-crafted by Sylvain Meyer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Land Art:** The trend of using natural landscapes as a canvas for artistic creations, opening up opportunities for artists and designers to merge art and nature in unique ways. - **Sustainable Sculpture:** The trend of creating sculptures using natural and biodegradable materials, providing environmentally-friendly alternatives to traditional sculpture mediums. - **Nature-inspired Design:** The trend of drawing inspiration from the natural world to create innovative and aesthetically pleasing designs in various industries, such as architecture and interior design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** The art industry can embrace the trend of Land Art by promoting and featuring artists who create large-scale installations using natural landscapes as their canvas. - **Environmental Conservation:** The environmental conservation industry can explore the trend of Sustainable Sculpture as a way to promote sustainable practices and raise awareness about the importance of using eco-friendly materials. - **Design and Architecture:** The design and architecture industries can incorporate the trend of Nature-Inspired Design into their projects, creating visually captivating spaces that blend seamlessly with the natural environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Outdoor Floral Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-at-kew-gardens.md) - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Tree Branch-Formed Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celestial-attraction.md) - [Natural Material-Transformed Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borrowed-earth-collaborative.md) - [Monumental Air Installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iwagumi-air-scape.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Repurposed Wooden Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darren-appiagyei.md) - [Ring-Shaped Forest Blenches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nesting-loops.md)
