Description:
The Next Wave is a bold graphic serigraph by John Van Hamersveld that transforms the iconic curling wave into a vibrant, psychedelic abstraction of motion, energy, and color. Using simplified forms, rhythmic patterning, and striking complementary colors, Van Hamersveld distills the experience of surfing into a powerful visual symbol that is at once recognizable and abstract.
Created in 2007, this signed H.C. (Hors Commerce) impression was printed on heavyweight Coventry Rag paper. Traditionally reserved for the artist or publisher outside the numbered edition, Hors Commerce impressions are produced to the same exacting standards as the regular edition and are prized by many collectors for their rarity.
