John Severson's SURF

"In a psychedelic experience, I had briefly seen everything as atomic dots; I saw what we were made of. Well, I knew we were made of stardust." John Severson's 1975-77 acrylic Pacific Wave is reproduced from John Severson's SURF, the first book dedicated to the surfing legend known for his surf movies, magazine, illustrations and paintings. "As for the art, I don’t paint for critics and always felt that to do that was not getting closer to your heart or, in my case, my love of the ocean. I live my life on my own terms and paint with a passion for something that is quite incredible on this planet. Waves."
