Big ups to Myles McGuinness for providing some water shots of Matuse Family Members, Joel Tudor and Luke Rife, surfing clean Trestles on our last South Swell. Both looking smooth and comfortable in the Hoplite short-sleeve fullsuit.

After a few swells on the West Coast it seems that the place to be now is the East Coast of the US. Hurricane Danielle delivered some fun waves and it looks like Hurricane Earl is gonna send some good energy as you read this. Matuse Family Members, Luke Ditella and Jeff Myers, were on it and each nabbed a photo in the latest ESM photo reel. Be sure to check back for photos coming in from Hurricane Earl .

Who: Matuse Family Member, Dave Kinsey
What: Dave Kinsey’s first solo show in nearly 2 years
When: Thursday, September 9th from 6-9pm
Where: Joshua Liner Gallery, 548 W. 28th St., 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10001; (212)-244-7415; http://joshualinergallery.com/
Why (In Dave Kinsey’s words): In this new body of work I primarily explore emotional and environmental boundaries, as I perceive them, in the context of the growing discord between humanity and nature. The state of the world today concerns me and I want try to affect, if not change, at least a feeling of realization or understanding when people view my work.
I have also spent time on cyclical issues, namely in the Continuum series, which clearly represents the reality of our earth-bound physical nature; beauty and death are ultimately dancing partners.
While I have thought about these things throughout my life, my recent experience in the isolated rural mountain community of Three Rivers, California has brought this reality to the forefront—living in nature allows a perspective rarely gained sitting in traffic in L.A. on your iPhone.
In terms of actual method, I approach each piece initially with an unconscious and somewhat spontaneous action to create what I consider to be “the perfect abstraction,” made up of energetic colors and strong blacks. From that point I begin to add representational forms, line work and shapes to complete the narrative.
This is my largest and most extensive body work in nearly three years. This show was produced in two studios, Los Angeles and Three Rivers, California. The works are primarily made up of acrylic, spray paint, paper, wood and ink on canvas. – D. Kinsey, 2010

Travis & Luke headed down to Trestles on 8/24 to see what Lowers was serving up. Looks like the buffet was fully stocked and open for service.
