GET OFF MY CLOUD

February 22, 2011 | Words By: Staff Writer

Peter Crawford’s legacy lives on through Insight and the GET OFF MY CLOUD Exhibition on Feb 27th 2011.


For the upcoming GET OFF MY CLOUD Exhibition, Justin Crawford (son) and Insight’s Creative Director Steve Gorrow have collaborated on several large scale iconic 70′s silkscreen prints of legendary surfers and surf personalities. Each print has been painstakingly treated with a psychedelic paint marbling effect on top of the action image, then sealed in high gloss fiberglass to bring out the vibrancy of the colours used whilst also complimenting the mood of the era these images were captured in.

Peter Crawford was a renowned surf photographer and some would say one of the world’s best lensman the industry has seen. Having grown up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches he was also an avid surfer. His body of work spanned over 3 decades and in this time he captured some of the most influential riders in surfing’s history including Wayne “Rabbit” Bartholomew and Michael Peterson.
The true status of Peter Crawford and his legacy is still being realised both in Australia’s surfing history and around the world. With his sudden passing in Bali, from an apparent spider bite, this colourful flower bloomed short and sweet.

Being a major surfing photographer for both Australian surfing publications and the big US surfing magazines, PC has a library up there with the best in surfing’s archives. His body of work was magnanimous, photographing over one million images in his lifetime.
