Mr. Zog and Anderson Brothers Bring Sexy Back to the Contemporary Art World

Santa Barbara, CA - What happens when contemporary art meets surfboard wax? Avid surfers and contemporary artists Sean Anderson and Benjamin Anderson in collaboration with Zog’s Sex Wax have made the magic happen. With a nod from Mr. Zog, the duo has created a series of multicolored wax sculptures, constructed completely out of surfboard wax. Art collectors and surfers, meet Sexy Skull.

Sexy Skulls will be released at the opening of Rogue Wave, a contemporary survey of surf art on the 27th of June at the Anderson Art Collective. Seven limited editions of the skull will be available, each adhering to Zog’s world famous scents and colors. “We are very excited to merge an icon of surf culture with the contemporary art world … and make it smell good,” said the Anderson Brothers.

Since 1972 Mr. Zog has dedicated himself to manufacturing and marketing surf-related products including Sex Wax, the undisputed worldwide leader in surfboard wax. Sex Wax Inc. is located south of Santa Barbara in Carpinteria, just a stone's throw from the world famous wave at Rincon and a brisk walk from the Anderson Brothers’ Studio.

Sexy Skull is just one of the projects underway by the entrepreneurial Anderson Brothers, each a successful artist in his own right. “The collaborations allow us to pursue tangents that individually we might have considered too unorthodox,” note the siblings who say there is another unprecedented release in the pipeline for the fall.

With their father, veteran fine artist Ron Anderson, they have opened Anderson Art Collective, a contemporary gallery located in the historic Henry Fish Seed Company building at the entrance to Carpinteria State Beach. After their successful inaugural show in May, they are now presenting Rogue Wave, a contemporary surf show that Santa Barbara’s Independent art critic Aly Comingore says “might just be the surf art exhibit of the year”.

Rogue Wave opens in Carpinteria on Saturday June 27th at 410 Palm Avenue with a daylong reception from 10am to 10pm benefiting the Surfrider Foundation. Five percent of sales and all proceeds from the sale of refreshments by Island Brewery, go to the local chapter.

The seven limited editions of Sexy Skull can only be purchased through Anderson Art Collective. For more information and inquiries please contact the gallery at 805.684.8783 or go here.

WTF is wrong with THE SYSTEM

Recently Michelle Obama went to serve food to the homeless at a government funded soup kitchen .

Cost of a bowl of soup at homeless shelter $0.00 dollars

Having Michelle Obama Serve you your soup $0.00 dollars

Snapping a picture of a homeless person who is receiving government funded meal while taking a picture of the first lady using his $500 Black Berry cell phone $$$$ Priceless

IModinari Street Painting Festival

What did you do Memorial Day weekend? I hope you made it over to the Italian street painting festival at The Mission, IModinari. I go every year. A week later... :) while the paintings are still fresh. Check out a couple of my favorites from this years festival.

Father Virgil Cordano passed away last May. He was a dear soul who contributed many great things to our community. This painting warms my heart because it depicts The Santa Barbara Mission, Queen of the California Missions, in all of her glory.

For all my Aztec Warrior Chicano Princesses

Oh Baby Pin Up Love.

One of many SB Fire Fighter tributes.

Rogue Wave Show: Anderson ART Collective

You do not want to miss this amazing event taking place next Saturday in Carpinteria...

Hosted by Anderson Art Collective, and my dear friend Sean Anderson & his lovely family & friends.

ROGUE WAVE ARRIVES IN CARPINTERIA AS BENEFIT FOR SURFRIDER FOUNDATION.


Santa Barbara, CA - Anderson Art Collective is the impact zone for Rogue Wave on June 27th when twelve contemporary artists present their work at the gallery in the historic Henry Fish Seed Company building in Carpinteria.

Curators Benjamin and Sean Anderson promise “an edgy and comprehensive survey of contemporary surf art, bringing the rogue-ish energies of the contemporary art world into the realm of surf culture” in this show that benefits the Surfrider Foundation.

Artist Randy Noborikawa, in collaboration with shaper Eric Christensen, brings his own strain of beautiful strange fish, boards contrary to art world trends and all things "surf related". Juxtaposed against the iconic surf photography of Bob Barbour will be work by Scott Richards, Art Director for Quiksilver, who has as his job list, among other things, traveling the globe, directing photo shoots and looking for artistic inspiration everywhere he goes. Blakeney Sanford, known for her installations of rebar, resin and fiberglass constructs her own rogue wave rising thirteen feet above the entrance to the gallery while Benjamin Anderson’s near life-sized oil painting of a shark attack is a reminder of what lives beneath the waves.

Legendary surfboard shaper Rennie Yater’s collaborative efforts with artist Kevin Ancell will also be in the show, having crossed the boundaries into the contemporary arena.

Rogue Wave runs through August 2 and benefits the Surfrider Foundation with five percent of art sales and all proceeds from the opening night, going to the non-profit. The opening is on Saturday, June 27 from 10 am to 10pm with refreshments from the Island Brewing Company starting at 5pm. The Palm Loft Gallery next door is also opening a surf related show on the 27th entitled Making Magic: Surfing Points and Painting Spots. Continuing the theme of their Wet Paint series, there will be a number of small unframed coastal landscapes and five percent of sales will go to Heal the Ocean.

“These two art show openings are the same day as the Rods and Roses Car Show on Linden Avenue and the annual Fourth of July Parade here in Carpinteria. Both galleries are right at the entrance to the Carpinteria State Beach so you have a great destination for surf, sun, cars, music, contemporary and plein air art,” according to Leigh-Anderson director of the gallery.

Anderson ART Collective has six shows on the 2009 Santa Barbara art schedule, all of which will contribute a percentage of sales to non-profit organizations supported by this unique family of contemporary fine artists.

Located at 410 Palm Avenue in Carpinteria, CA, the gallery is open Fri, Sat, Sun from 1-6pm . Phone 805.684.8783 for more information or email info@andersonARTcollective.com.
