Wolfgang Bloch -- Wolfgang Bloch sees waves everywhere—in the ocean, in the grain of wood, in the core of a surfboard that he has sawed in two. Using all of these different media, Bloch creates simple, evocative paintings that transform ocean waves into otherworldly compositions of color and shape. His work captivates surfers around the world, and this first ever monograph of Bloch's work—designed by luminary David Carson—features his best pieces, alongside a soulful account of the artist's life. This gorgeous book of waves is a collaboration between two of the surf world's visionaries that will resonate with beach lovers everywhere.

Mike Stice is a professor of English at Laguna College of Art and Design. He lives in San Clemente, California.

David Carson is a world-famous graphic designer. He lives in Charleston, South Carolina, and New York City.

Quotes

Where I first experienced Wolfgang's work, I don't remember. I do remember it stopped me cold. It was impossible to ignore, scan, or quickly surf past. I was mesmerized. —David Carson
