The towering sand sculptures at Siloso Beach are the work of internationally-acclaimed Singaporean sand artist JOOheng Tan and his team of 15 sculptors. Over 10 days, they have carved out towering tributes to the MARVEL universe with nothing more than just sand and water.
And with the sand art’s fluid lines and well-chiselled looks, it is hard to believe that the Super Hero sculptures are nothing more than compacted grains of sand. Looking at them, you’d half-expect the real Super Heroes to come bursting out at any time.
The level of detail on each of the 15 sand sculptures is nothing short of amazing.
Ant-Man looks ready to swoop in and save the day.
The whole gang from Guardians of the Galaxy is at the party too!
One of the most impressive sculptures is Thor and Asgard. Standing at 5.9 metres tall, this towering sand art can’t help but impress.
It is not just the good guys who are represented at Sentosa Sandsation: MARVEL Edition. Everyone’s favourite super-villain Thanos is at the sand festival, looking particularly menacing with the Infinity Gauntlet firmly in his grasp.
And there’s more.
From 1 to 3 September 2018, 14 world-class sand sculptors will also be competing for top honours in the Sentosa International Sand Sculpting Championship.
In a MARVEL-inspired sand face-off, these talented artists will be creating another series of astounding sand art pieces, bringing the total number of sand sculptures at Sentosa Sandsation: MARVEL Edition to 29!
For the first time, visitors can watch these sculptors work, creating beautiful art out of piles of sand. One of these sand masters will get to take home the Golden Shovel Award and the prize money of US$5,000.
As a bonus, admission to Sentosa Sandsation: MARVEL Edition is absolutely free!
