Lover's Eye I
Original acrylic painting on a surfboard fin. Varnished and epoxy resin poured into a base made of reclaimed wood from a small surf shop in California.
Artist Statement
Long ago, eye miniature paintings were a popular way of keeping a loved one intimate and mysterious. Over the past few years, I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of connection and “lover’s eyes” have been something that I’ve repeatedly returned to.
The piercing gaze. The intricate features that only two people would recognize. Both a bit thrilling and romantic.
A surfboard fin was chosen as the canvas to respresent the briefness of something thrilling- riding a wave swiftly through the sea just as Lover's Eye art were meant to be fleeting, amazing and then forgotten.
Fin Specs – Base: 4.37" / Depth: 4.55"
Fin Base: Top Approximately 3/8" inches Wide and 7 1/4" inch Long.
Surf fins are permanently attached to base and are for display use only.
