Surfers Against Sewage say:

"It’s great to have surfers from all over globe standing up to protect UK waves as part of Global Wave Wednesday! Surfers are part of a global community, often travelling to experience new waves in new countries. We believe that UK surfers deserve to enjoy clean waves and we want to be able to promote the UK as a clean wave destination."

SAS Campaign Director Andy Cummins

The Surfrider Foundation say:

"Global Wave Wednesday is a great first step in unifying the world’s surf protection organisations and the Surfrider Foundation is proud to be supporting the Protect Our Waves petition today. Surfing is a truly global sport and we travel the world in search of clean, healthy and exciting waves so we have a vested interest in supporting wave protection in the UK and around the world."

Surfrider Foundation Environment Director Chad Nelsen

"The famous GUINNESS® surge, unique to every pint of GUINNESS, takes centre stage in the iconic brand’s latest campaign which runs until early summer across the island of Ireland. The GUINNESS surge has been celebrated many times in GUINNESS advertising over the years and this new instalment brings to life its elemental power in a new and energetic way.

"Created by shooting giant waves beneath the surface of the sea, the epic images reflect the elemental power and beauty of a surging pint of GUINNESS as it is being poured. The images were shot in Tahiti and Hawaii by world renowned surf photographer Brian Bielmann who has worked with the world’s best surfers including Andy Irons and Kelly Slater and whose images have graced over 150 magazine covers worldwide over the years."

"We feel privileged to have worked with Brian Bielmann to deliver this new iconic ad, a man who himself reflects the attitude shared by the brand and its drinkers — choosing the extraordinary."

Stephen O’Kelly, GUINNESS Marketing Director for Western Europe

Here are some words from the artist introducing his new work:

"Kaihalulu is the largest wave painting that I have completed with 30 layers and many little pieces. My art has been evolving and moving forward with a style that reminds me of nature unrolling her spirals and natural lines. Hidden in my gold gilding of the water I am discovering where my art seems to be taking me. I am moved by the sacred beauty of Earth’s precious elements and nature’s flowing movements. Creating art with this in mind has become exciting as there seems to be no end to the inspiration. The universe is full of spinning spirals from galaxies with their orbiting lines of planets to the movements of the sea and blood cells in our bodies. I’m going to need another lifetime here to keep on painting.

"These gold paintings take along time to produce with designing, cutting, laminating, gold gilding and painting. When I start one of these I am immersed in the subject for days on end with little breaks. This is so that I can finish the painting without being distracted from the inspiration I am getting. I’ve noticed that the time I take with my paintings seems almost contradictory to the trend of the fast paced modern age. People are so rushed for time these days as the world is filling up and we all want that something fast: food, transport, internment and even art. Im starting to feel like I am unintentionally holding ground for a more old world style of craftsmanship while the world whirls by at increasing speed."

Kaihalulu, roaring sea
24″h x 36″w and 2.5″depth. Oil, 12k and 23k gold on 30 layers of hand cut bas-relief.

Evening interior light shows the three dimensional look well with warm spot lighting coming from the right of painting. There is also a different cooler lighting reflecting off the textures from the left in the troff of the wave.

Outdoor lighting makes this genuine gold painting pop. There is also a warm glow inside the wave. Even though the texture is only a total of half an inch thick the light reflecting off the line makes this piece more dimensional with layers of sparkling light and shadows.

A big heartfelt maholos to everyone who has supported my art and allowed to continue following my pace of inspiration, and for all those who offer their positive encouragement and feedback.

Two of his most beautiful works depict crashing waves sculpted from thin layers of precisely cut wood and glass titled La Vague and Maestrale. The energy present in the works is remarkable as if any moment the materials are going to crash into the gallery floor.
