O'NEILL PRESENTS A GLOBAL INNOVATION AND ART TOUR CURATED BY MONSTER CHILDREN

The most iconic name in the surf industry is celebrating it's 60th year of operation and innovation with a global art tour curated by Monster Children. Starting in Sydney on March 15th, artworks by Thomas Campbell, Geoff McFetridge, Mark Penxa, Jim Phillips Jr, Tim Chapman and Liam Gerrard, along with a plethora of O'Neill memorabilia will be exhibited in a global art and innovation tour. The exhibition will travel through Asia, Africa, Europe and North America, with the final exhibition being seen in Santa Cruz at the O'Neill Cold Water Classic WT surf event in November.

One of the more lighthearted looks at a portrait of Jack had multiple references to pop culture with the series ‘What if Jack had met…’

Two professional creatives, Philippe Guillermic and Lewis Gennaro, using their experience in the advertising industry worked together on creating these different pieces using varying graphic styles.

“It’s well known that Jack O’Neill has inspired a whole generation of surfers. No doubt that he could have also inspired generations of artists. This series is a tribute to Jack’s unique style and personality through various painting and graphic styles : surrealism, cubism, pop-art, comics, 8bit/pixelart, modern art.”
