Paddler Series by Frank Oliva

The Paddlemen of the South Pacific are iconic figures off the shores of the islands. The lone figures on their long boards move swiftly and confidently skimming the water. In the sunlight the images burst from a solid sea. When the sun sets behind them, the Paddlemen appear like shadows against a brilliant universe.

Frank Oliva's Paddlemen are presented on an 8x8x3 canvas wrap around frame. The painting is pure, flat and simple. Because of the depth of these canvases, the Paddlemen seem to float on the wall. The color combinations define the mood and atmosphere. Every "Paddleman" is one of a kind. Individually, or combined with others, these paintings are powerful representations of Island culture.
