1950’s Heat Wave I Between Sets – 2025 Limited Edition

1950’s Heat Wave - A contemporary coastal art collection inspired by surf culture, beach lifestyle, and the moments of freedom found between waves.

1950’s Heat Wave explores the glamour of stillness.

The moment between swims. The pause beneath striped shade. The heat pressing gently against skin while the ocean waits.

Part of Between Sets, A Numbered Limited Surf Series 2025, this work captures the quiet theatre of beach culture — the ritual of belonging without performance. Inspired by 1950s coastal glamour and modern longboard lifestyle, it blends nostalgia with contemporary surf identity.

Bold red stripes, sculptural shadow, and sun-warmed tones create a powerful graphic presence. She is not posing. She is simply there, confident, composed, unbothered.

This is surf culture beyond the wave.

It is about atmosphere. Identity. Heat held in colour.

This work is released in one definitive scale to preserve the integrity of the 2025 series.
