Walter Mason, born in Sussex, England but residing in Berlin, Germany, looks looks to the environment as an inspiration for his artwork. Heavily influenced by Surrealism, he feels that it can change how we look at the world by "questioning what we usually take for granted." Mason is also influenced by Andy Goldsworthy in addition to Surrealism.
Mason is known for harmoniously combining leaves and bark of trees,water drops, rocks, and creating prints through paint and intricately cutting geometric pattern onto leaves. Mason, himself, describes this type of artwork "Land Art," which consists of using nature's materials in its natural habitat
Not only is his artwork absolutely beautiful, but once he's finished with a masterpiece it can decompose naturally. I guess you could call Mason's "Land Art" environmentally friendly.
"Everything I do is an experiment. If the picture I make is good or not is of little importance in comparison to what I have learned. If the experiment ‘works’ I have the feeling of arrival, of completion, I am finished with the idea."
