All works on Surf-Art.co.uk are by UK artist and craftsperson
James Gardner.
James is a self-taught artist who splits his time between the Midlands
and West Wales. Having spent half his life surfing and sketching comic
book art for his own pleasure on the mid Wales coastline he found
himself land-locked near Birmingham.
Finding life without surf and sea increasingly frustrating he picked
up a paintbrush at the age of 23 and tried to remind himself of what
it feels like to be by the sea by painting a Surf scene for his Girlfriend's
birthday because the price tags of any in shops had far too many digits
on.
3 years on James has continued painting and is now producing exciting
works transposing the qualities of comics and pop art to the world
of the ocean, from surfers to harbours his paintings have been sold
across the UK and exhibited twice.
A recent entrant to the Royal Academy of Art's 'Summer Exhibition'
and with work in several UK galleries and Shops, James' bold and unusual
take on the Ocean takes Surf Art to a new and fresh level, evoking
in everyone the feeling of the sea, whether it be the post surf glow
or the sun setting behind the harbour wall.
Now working out of his Midland and Welsh studios James set up www.surf-art.co.uk
a year ago to showcase his works and more importantly offer all walks
of life the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from his original and
exciting works of art.
He can either be reached through his website or found surfing and
collecting driftwood on the nations beaches, with his Choclate Labrador
in tow.
