The Huntington Beach Art Center presents The Art and Soul of Surfing, an exhibition of historical and contemporary art that honors the beauty and inspiration of surfing and the intimate relationship of the artist/surfer and the ocean. The exhibition features works of art from the most legendary surf artists in recent history, including the "Godfathers of Surf Art": John Severson, Rick Griffin, Bill Ogden and John Van Hamersveld. In addition, current day legends Rick Rietveld, Ken Auster, Kevin Short, Wade Koniakowsky, Ashton Howard, Melinda Morey, Kevin Ancell, Sandow Birk and Bill Stewart are represented. The exhibition is co-curated by Phil Roberts and Patrick Servedio, who have included a new generation of emerging artists: James Finch (Disney Production designer for "Frozen"), Lori Gilbert, Sam Bernal and Josh Serafin. In late August, the Surfboards on Parade collection of art surfboards will return to the Art Center to join the show.
