"There have been a couple of times that I've shot the goat trail. This one was interesting because the guy in the picture is a friend who lives in Munich and shapes surfboards there. I had a chance encounter meeting him and ended up travelling around Europe with him. The fact that he shapes for the landlocked sub-culture of surfers really spoke to me because in this picture he's departing from the norm of river surfing in Germany."
Derek Dunfee, Julian Martin, and Soren Heil wrapped up an impressive art show in Leucadia last week. The show’s name and theme were one in the same. In varying ways, they each explained the theme of “Departure” as getting away from what’s comfortable and what people consider “the norm.” As Sören put it, “It’s about having a heightened sense of awareness and capturing the fleeting moments of life.” Examples of this can be seen in Sören’s installation of the desert scene through the car door, Julian’s unique fog shot looking into San Francisco taken while filming a surf trip, or Derek’s barrel shots taken in remote waters.
Check out more artwork from these talented humans on each of their websites and stay tuned for future art shows.
