Hawaii-based artist Chris Lundy (Juxtapoz Magazine, cover #63) lives an existence saturated in art and surfing. Not only does it sound like a great life, but it adds the type of palpable authenticity to an artist's work that can only be achieved after years of dedication.

Immortalizing his surfing roots, Lundy captures the kinetic energy and graceful motion of surf culture in vibrant paintings he calls "meditations in and of themselves," which he hopes "serve as a glimpse into the rhythmic, radiant sanctuary that is the true home of many.”

In anticipation of his upcoming new solo exhibition Notes From the Field, which opens this Saturday, March 14 at James Gray Gallery in Santa Monica, California, we pulled Chris out of the water to answer our 20 Questions. Learn more on this ocean-obsessed creator here...

Chris Lundy isn't your average surf artist -- he's known as much for his surfing ability in super heavy waves as his design aesthetic. Former member of the so-called "Pipe Underground" (before a career-suspending injury during the '83 Pipe Masters) the North Shore-based painter has spent the last 30 years making his mark as one of the world's most well-known and respected surf artists. His lush, crazy, psychedelic wavescapes have become a trademark and he's done more surf event posters than anyone on the planet.
