In December 2013, the Aaron Chang Ocean Art Gallery opened its second location at 789 West Harbor Drive in The Headquarters, a newly complete project in the Seaport District of San Diego. This remodeled, luxury waterfront plaza was once the San Diego Police Department’s headquarters and jail. Upscale and modern throughout, The Headquarters preserved some of the historical elements of the property,

resulting in a unique experience for tourists and locals alike. Adjacent to the Manchester Grand Hyatt, the Aaron Chang Ocean Art Gallery complements its modern elegance with a view of the San Diego Bay. Flanked by popular restaurants Eddie V’s, Puesto and Seasons 52, the gallery at The Headquarters welcomes an eclectic mix of local residents, international tourists and business travellers. “The Headquarters is a special place,” says gallery owner and artist, Aaron Chang. “It’s gratifying to be able to present images of the power and beauty of the ocean to people from all over the globe … the draw of the sea evokes such powerful human emotions. And for local San Diegans, this is a great place for a date night or an outing where you want to feel like you’re on vacation!” The Headquarters gallery features Aaron’s large format photographic prints with surf and ocean themes alongside several striking surfboard sculptures. All of the work is available in custom sizes to transform the character of any commercial or residential space.The gallery seeks to be an active member of the community and is available for group functions and events.

COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE — FOG

A sea of fog fills the Columbia River Gorge at dawn, swallowing the valley whole while ancient basalt ridgelines emerge above the clouds. Fir trees hold their ground at the edges, half-submerged in mist, as pale light breaks through the overcast sky.

There are landscapes that ask you to slow down and simply breathe. This is one of them — the Pacific Northwest in its most elemental, unhurried state.

A fine art print for collectors who seek to bring the quiet grandeur of wild places and the stillness of a misty morning into a room.

A fine art limited edition of 95.

SECOND BEACH - Beneath a luminous sky, the last light of sunset spills across the dark sands of Second Beach in Washington — rose and violet reflected in the retreating tide, ancient Douglas firs standing at the edge of the cliffs.

This is the Pacific Northwest at its most quietly magnificent. A place where old-growth forest meets open ocean, and the sky, for one suspended moment, turning everything to rose gold.

A fine art print for collectors who seek to bring the untamed beauty of wild coastlines and the stillness of nature into a room.

BIG SUR STARRY NIGHT by Saxon Chang - Above one of the darkest stretches of the Pacific Coast, the Milky Way rises in full luminescence over a desolate Big Sur beach — its core rendered in the vibrant blues, teals, and golden hues that only reveal themselves in true darkness, far from the light of any city.

The ocean below moves quietly toward the shore, its white water catching a faint starlight that the eye alone could never perceive, while the cliffs above frame the galaxy with the weight and permanence of the California headlands.

WATER DANCE - A surge of ocean energy meets the shore and detonates — white water exploding upward in a dynamic cascade of motion that Aaron has frozen at the precise instant of maximum chaos and maximum beauty.

Countless individual droplets hang suspended in the frame like a sculptor's work in glass, each one catching the light differently, the whole composition resolving from raw power into something unexpectedly delicate.

Glimpses of sandy shore and cobalt sky appear through the spray, anchoring the abstract in the real, and the result is one of Aaron's most technically ambitious wave images — a Best Seller that carries the full kinetic energy of the Pacific into whatever space it occupies.
