This piece was inspired by the island coast and sea where the artist’s family still lives. The wave is partially inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai’s extraordinary ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’ print but also has strong Art Deco elements. The dynamism of that early 20^th century aesthetic works well with the movement of the powerful wave cresting over the shoreline below.
