"Art Brewer: Surf Evolution" will be on view at the SVA Gallery, 209 East 23 Street, New York City, from June 8 - 30, 2012.
School of Visual Arts (SVA) presents "Art Brewer: Surf Evolution," a retrospective celebrating the work of legendary surf photographer Art Brewer, who has spent four decades documenting and shaping surf culture around the globe.
Often described as "the court painter" for the world's surfing elite, Art Brewer is known for his mastery of the numerous technical and physical challenges involved in surf photography and the strikingly expressive quality of his images, which some have described as "portals to a vastly improved universe." Photographer C.R. Stecyk (Dogtown and Z-Boys) explains in his essay accompanying the exhibition, "Art has thoroughly examined the sport of surf riding with an unparalleled sensitive ferocity...an underlying introspection is seamlessly incorporated into his works via a technical mastery which comes across as easy and elegant."
