"Pettibon's surfer drawings capture an existentialist moment where the surfer rides a fine line of beauty for a short time until nature inevitably engulfs and destroys him—a metaphor for life itself." Adam Lindemann in: “Foreward” in: Exh. Cat., New York, Venus over Manhattan, Raymond Pettibon: Surfers 1985-2015, 2015, p. 7
