About Surfer

The artwork titled “Surfer,” created by Duane Hanson in 1987, belongs to the genres of Hyper-Realism and Photorealism and is classified as a sculpture.

The sculpture depicts a young male figure standing barefoot with one hand resting on his hip and the other holding a surfboard upright next to him. The surfboard features a striking design with bright orange, yellow, and black colors, accentuating the overall vibrancy of the piece. He is shown wearing brightly colored swim trunks and has a pair of sunglasses perched atop his head. The level of detail in the sculpture is remarkable, capturing the realistic appearance of the figure’s skin, hair, and accessories, giving it an almost lifelike presence in the space. The use of color and accurate representation emphasizes the ethos of Hyper-Realism and Photorealism, making it a quintessential example of Duane Hanson’s work in this art movement.
