Swiss-born mixed media artist Ugo Rondinone created this gravity-defying collection of [vibrant rocks that are stacked](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drifting-stones) to create abstract Inukshuks. The installation called 'Clouds + Mountains + Waterfalls' aims to mimic natural elements in a clever redefined style.

Based on his fascination with [natural phenomena](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transposition-installtion), Ugo Rondinone created these artworks to express his interest. This entire collection is comprised of [painted rocks that are stacked](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vondel-fountain) into unnatural structures. The vibrant colors include lime green and vibrant blue. The rocks range in size and look to have fallen from an imaginative rainbow cliff landing in various arrangements. The juxtaposed pieces of art stand strong and erect in various locations throughout the showroom.

The artist's latest exhibit will be featured at London’s Sadie Coles HQ until October 21.
