Surfing Paintings Brought To The Community That Inspires The Painting; Huge Mural-Sized Paintings On Sand
The Surfing Series
- part of the Time / Space Series
© 2005-2006 Aliyah Marr
In June 2005 the artist, Aliyah Marr moved from New York City to a small, undisclosed beach community in Southern California. Her desire was to learn how to surf; in the process she has discovered a great community and a new passion for this amazing sport. The artist is now continuing the Time / Space Sports series with a new set of paintings that use surfing as inspiration. The Surfing Paintings are focused on the exhilaration of the sport of surfing. Each mural-sized painting will be executed at the artist's studio in stages and exhibited on various beaches in Southern Californis. The painting will be shown at each of its stages week by week; both on the beach and on the artist's website. If you want to know where the painting will be and when, please check this website or use the email link below to get on the mailing list. The paintings and the display of the paintings are part of the artist's effort to bring art to the places and to the people who inspire the work itself.
In January 2006, Aliyah Marr is showing the first of the paintings on the beach in Encinitas, California. The painting, named Beacon's after the beach of the same name is a huge 5 x 12 ft mural on raw canvas. Please check this website periodically for updates on the location of the painting.
