Rick Amor, Shark in a Wave, 2002. oil on canvas.

After watching a rough cut of the 1982 film Blade Runner, author Philip K. Dick asked director Ridley Scott, in amazement, “how did you know what I saw in my head?”

That is what I thought when I first saw this painting. Standing on a jetty at Coos Bay, Oregon. Watching a shadow from the deep pass through the waves in front of me. Changing my life forever.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
