{"product_id":"nose-riding-2024","title":"Nose Riding (2024)","description":"\u003cp\u003eNose Riding marks one of the first moments in which Alex R. Plaza explored the dialogue between body, nature, and form through a symbolic lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the surfing maneuver of the same name, the work reinterprets the fragile balance between control and surrender —between the geometry of human gesture and the shifting power of the ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the composition, semi-figurative fragments such as legs and hands merge into a structure of folded planes, where the wave becomes architecture and paper becomes sea. Drawing from the observation of everyday folds, Plaza introduced in this piece a new visual architecture: matter bent and pleated as a metaphor for life’s ebb and flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the depiction of surfing, Nose Riding reflects on the harmony between inner state and environment. The body dissolves into the wave in a suspended instant, reminding us that true freedom arises when human will aligns with the natural rhythm of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Made in Bondi Beach \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/b\u003e Oil with brushes, wide brushes, pastel pencils and oil pastels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSupport:\u003c\/b\u003e Canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 50x 60 x 1.5 cm | 16 X 20\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDate:\u003c\/b\u003e April 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocation:\u003c\/b\u003e Sydney (Australia)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plaza Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52841309241709,"sku":null,"price":1.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/8721\/1373\/files\/3.S_VERT_THUMBNAILS.jpg?v=1771920923","url":"https:\/\/plaza.gallery\/products\/nose-riding-2024","provider":"Plaza Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
