Surf Station 90

2011 Beach 90 Street (A,S) New York City Transit

Michael Miller's faceted glass panels celebrate the adventure of surfing — an appropriate theme for Beach 90 St, which is near a New York City-designated surfing beach. Miller created a series of paintings in vivid, bold color reminiscent of 1960's surf posters and album covers. The images evoke the mood of sitting inside a wave and looking toward shoreline, or the splash of the sea, or figures on a surfboard. His work is expressive and energetic in its line and movement, the perfect start or finish to a day at the beach, and a welcome burst of color to commuters in the Rockaways. The expressive nature of faceted glass has been maximized to use optical effects and hand painting to bring Miller's artwork to life.
