Surfer With Longboard Against Layered Wall

Surfer With Longboard Against Layered Wall shows a painted surfer figure in deep rust red, standing tall with a yellow longboard under his arm. Around him, layers of blue, turquoise, white and ochre paint chip and overlap, so the wall itself seems to tell years of stories. In his Surfer Art series, Tim Burns finds the images of surf culture painted onto the walls and surfaces of the coast and frames them with a photographer's eye. As with all his work, nothing is staged. The layered textures, the peeling paint and the strong silhouette come together into one striking, almost iconic image. The surfer stands calm and proud, a symbol of the laid-back strength of California beach life. Behind acrylic glass the blues and the yellow board glow vividly. It is a vertical piece that makes a great focal point in a hallway, a beach house, a surf shop or a living room, for anyone who loves the ocean and its culture.
