SURF CINEMA RE-VISION (Press Release)

​

 

London Surf / Film Festival x Oakley present ‘Surf Cinema Re-Vision’ a specially commissioned gallery show celebrating the connection between art and celluloid, in support of Water Aid. Curated in association with creative collective Approaching Lines, this exhibition challenges perceptions of what surf art is all about.

 

Approaching Lines  tasked nine of the UK’s leading surf creatives with a brief to reinterpret and redesign the art work for an iconic surf film that resonated with them, creating a unique piece that captures the essence of the movie and stirs the imagination. The resulting show, ‘Surf Cinema Re-Vision’ is an exciting and eclectic showcase of  movie posters re-imagined.

 

The posters are on display at the Riverside Studios Gallery in Hammersmith from 21 October - 3 November 2013, coinciding with the four nights of the London Surf / Film Festival and feature work from a hugely talented pool of UK artists including: 

* Chris Dorning * Nick Radford/ Frootful * Droog 79 * Richard Brahams * BULL * David Beckitt * Victoria Jones  * Wilma* Seamouse *

 

Each of the works – an original A2 print – will go on sale 4th November and all proceeds will go to WaterAid an international non-governmental organization that transforms lives by improving access to safe water, improved hygiene and sanitation in the world’s poorest communities.s will go to WaterAid an international non-governmental organization that transforms lives by improving access to safe water, improved hygiene and sanitation in the world’s poorest communities.
