Item Description
Love the beach? Then you will love this piece! Designed by a fine artist you can practically feel the warmth of the sand meticulously painted across the back of the chair. With exotic fish detailed below and sand dunes above, the chair will whisk you off to the shore - whenever you would like!
ARTIST STATEMENT/INFLUENCE:
The seat of the chair looks like the gentle swell of a wave to me. I circled this chair, learned its form and drew it from several angles. Its shapes reminded me of the ocean and the beach - a place I dearly love. An idea formed as my son prepared to leave for an extended ocean voyage. He loves to travel. He had the opportunity to sail by the Nicobar Islands in the Andaman Sea just northeast of Malaysia. He explained the low flat landform typified by a reef island. Just off the beach on one of these islands, there's a shipwreck. I used his photo as my inspiration. This view above and below the water is what I imagine a swimmer or diver might see as he shifts his gaze from the glorious colors of the undersea to the sun's brilliance.
