The best contemporary surf artists around the world

Surf & Art celebrates the art of surfing. Veerle Helsen, author of the surf books Surf & Stay (with over 20,000 copies sold worldwide), selected the best contemporary ‘surf artists’ from around the world, interviewed them, and showcases their work.

Surf & Art crosses waves and art movements. Jim Drouet’s cinematic scenes are bathed in a contemporary impressionism, while Kentaro Yoshida’s drawings feel like they came straight out of a Japanese manga book. Through interviews, readers get a glimpse into the minds and sketchbooks of the artists. They also share their favourite surf spots or boards, for enthusiasts.

Surf & Art is designed by award winning Elke Treunen. This book plays with colours and lines, finitude and infinity. Arches and strokes transform into waves, beaches, and clouds. With Surf & Art, Veerle Helsen once again succeeds in capturing the surf world in a unique way.
