"Deep in Placement Drift" by Nathan Gibbs
Mixed Media on Panel - 16" x 24"

In recent times I have decided to work in the symbolism of surfing into my acrylic painting. One of the main symbols,or icons of surfing is the "fin" or "skeg". It is essential to the concept of wave riding, especially while standing. Placement Drift is a term I use for long boarding. It refers to fin placement, drifting right or left and how those two interact. Here I combine that aspect of surfing in the art, with a little abstract MC Escher (if he did surf art) with the palm trees. Using wood, stain, paper, toner transfers,sketches, found objects, paint, and a multitude of other sources turn the meta-physical into physical.
