Sam Friedman has become known for moving between representational and abstract depictions with seeming ease and spontaneity. This edition draws inspiration from a pivotal moment after an experience the artist had walking towards the sunset during an oncoming storm at Rockaway Beach. This personal encounter of induced visual clarity manifested a phenomenon where he saw in his mind's eye fully realized landscapes in vivid colors. He immediately got to work on his 'beach paintings' - which started as works on paper - and have become his hallmark. "For this piece, the printers took a pre-existing painting of mine and created a print of it. First, they created a digital file of the elements in the image, as flat individual layers, then I selected colors that were reflective of the original. The original painting is from my beach series, that dates back to 2008." - Sam Friedman.
