About the event
ON VIEW TILL OCT 12
We are delighted to present an extraordinary exhibition showcasing the works of four distinguished artists, each of whom brings a unique perspective and mastery to their craft. This collection is an homage to artistry, exploration, and the profound interconnectedness between creative expression and the natural world.
Chris Miyashiro enchants with his sculptures and objects, each piece a testament to his odyssey as an artist and voyager. His work intricately weaves craftsmanship with an adventurous spirit, inviting viewers to delve into the nuanced relationship between form and sentiment.
John Hook encapsulates the quintessence of surf culture through his photography, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the exhilarating interplay between waves and riders. His images are more than visual delights; they narrate the powerful symbiosis between the ocean’s vigor and the surfers’ graceful harmony.
Kaimana Banes masterfully shapes stoneware, honoring the medium’s intrinsic qualities and boundless potential. His creations, both functional and artistic, seamlessly blend traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics, each piece a narrative of transformation from raw material to refined form.
Mark Cunningham, a legendary body surfer, presents a distinctive collection of ocean-found objects. These artifacts, sculpted by the sea and discovered under the ocean’s surface, are curated into a thought-provoking display that speaks to the ocean’s enduring influence on art and life.
This exhibition is a confluence of diverse artistic expressions, united by a profound reverence for the earth’s beauty and complexity. The interplay between the natural environment and the ceaseless motion of the ocean cultivates a deep sense of purpose and inspiration in these artists, driving them to create works that resonate profoundly with the rhythms of the world around us.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this captivating journey, where each piece is a reflection of the artist's experience and a celebration of the world's wonders.
