Surf

In this mesmerizing acrylic on board painting, artist Dave Emmett skillfully takes you on a captivating journey to a vivid memory of being completely submerged in the depth of the ocean's vastness. As you gaze upon the artwork, you find yourself immersed in a world where light playfully dances, refracting and distorting, almost teasing your senses. The artist's deliberate choice of a darker palette, skillfully applied across the canvas, serves as a powerful reminder of the immense power that the ocean holds - the giver of life, yet also capable of taking life away. Through his masterful pours and thoughtful composition, Emmett conjures up a sense of awe and vulnerability, urging you to contemplate the delicate balance between mankind and the untamed forces of nature.

Dave Emmett is punk-science-fiction artist who uses fluid pour-painting techniques to create nebulae, wormholes, planetscapes, and all things alien on canvas. He aims for vibes that are loud, vibrant, disruptive, and alive. A left-brained Doctor by day, he’s drawn to the ways in which fluid art defies efforts at pre-planning. Each painting forms dynamically, one tilt or spin at a time.
