Toes On The Nose | $2,495 (Originally $3,595)

New retro wave sculpture inspired by the iconic "Endless Summer" movie, a surf documentary that transformed surf culture and birthed retro surf art. "Toes On The Nose" depicts a long-boarder hanging ten coasting through a wave. Shaun Thomas references the original "Endless Summer" poster by using bright colors like blue, pink, and orange accompanied by negative space. To ensure the colors popped, he opted out of using dyes or stains and instead decided to use spray paint. This gives the sculpture a vibrant pop of color. Shaun plays with the raised wood to give a 3D effect that gives a faux-realistic look to his art and quite literally makes it pop. The piece has waves overhanging from the side frame, giving it a multi-dimensional look. It’s almost as if you can see the waves movement and can follow along with your eyes – playing out the scene unfolding before you. The high contrast of its dark background and bright, colorful, and simple elements adds even more pop to this retro inspired piece. With this particular wood wall sculpture, he combines vintage surf art with organic mediums and re-introduces it to the 21st century.
