Hold Down 
Triptych – 3 Panels, Total Width 70 inches x Height 45 inches
Kodak Metallic Print Face-Mounted to Crystal Glass | Floating Installation
Commissioned by Lowell A. Zimmer – $9,000

When the Mr. Zimmer envisioned a statement piece, artist Sean Ruttkay delivered Hold Down —a captivating triptych that transforms their space with the wild beauty of the North Shore of Hawaii.

At 65 by 45 inches, this three-panel masterpiece is crafted using a Kodak metallic print face-mounted to floating glass, a medium that enhances its luminous depth. Captured during a massive set at the Bonsai Pipeline, the artwork showcases towering plumes of white water surging above a tranquil reef, with calm waters below—a visual metaphor for resilience amid chaos. The space between the reef and the forceful waves symbolizes the balance point, creating a seamless, ethereal display that floats off the wall.

Hold Down is more than a stunning focal point—it’s an invitation to reflect. It channels the raw energy and serene clarity of ocean life, a perfect resonance for a home seeking natural inspiration. In Ruttkay’s hands, water becomes a living presence—reflective, immersive, and alive.

This is the ocean, distilled to its most powerful essence. Dive into the power of Hold Down—a limited-edition masterpiece by Sean D. Ruttkay. Secure yours today and bring the spirit of the North Shore into your home. Visit our gallery page to view more EDA Surf Art Pieces.
