A CURATED PLACE

SURF CITY

Matthew Wolfenden

Opening night: Friday, 2nd August. 6pm - 8pm
On view: 2 - 17 August, 2024

As an artist deeply inspired by the ocean, Wolfenden’s work aims to evoke a sense of nostalgia and admiration for the sea. His journey with surf art began during his formative years, particularly in year 12, when a painting “Mother Of Curl” was showcased in Art Express. This experience ignited a passion within Wolfenden to continue exploring and capturing the beauty of surfing and the ocean.

His latest collection strives to convey the elegance and dynamism of surfing through vibrant and expressive compositions. Each painting is a reflection of experiences and memories by the sea, aiming to take viewers on a visual journey through the waves.

Through careful attention to detail and a vivid colour palette, he hopes to bring to life the energy and grace of surfers in their element. His goal is to encapsulate the fluidity and power of the ocean, allowing viewers to feel a connection to the water and the thrill of the surf.

Matthew invites you to immerse yourself in these scenes and experience the nostalgia and joy that the ocean brings.
