A surge of electric teal and deep cobalt captures the rhythmic motion of the Pacific Ocean in this 1988 masterpiece. This print utilizes bold, fractured shapes and playful textures to represent the crashing surf against a warm, architectural foreground. The composition is a masterclass in modern perspective, layering stylized white foam and dark shadows to create a sense of movement that feels both energetic and structured.

Evoking the bright, sun-drenched spirit of Southern California, the work speaks to the intersection of nature and human observation. It captures a specific moment of coastal light—that bright, saturated clarity found only where the desert meets the ocean. Looking at these forms, one feels the breeze and the constant, mechanical pulse of the tide, reimagined through a lens of 20th-century sophistication.

It fits the same shelf as our mid century modern art, and sits comfortably next to abstract art prints.
