The boys from FOURREEL.tv have just finished a profile video on Chris Chong, The Sugarmill and some of the other skulls that float around that is part of their Creatures of Creation Project. Pat and Tim approached us to make something that will serve as a little taste of what will be available to viewers when they launch their online broadcast network in Oct 2012 and to see just how really weird they could make us feel about being in front of a camera.

‘Surf City’ is an exhibition of collaborations by artist Luke Taaffe and photographer Ryan Heywood. Navigating omnipotent seascapes and psychedelic surf iconography of the 80′s and 90′s, the distinct styles of each artist merge into powerful graphic scenery. With a mutual respect for surf culture and the ocean itself, Luke and Ryan combine Megaloden shark jaws, lone boats, vast seas and pyrotechnical patternations, into isolated, pervasive and somewhat sinister environments describing a darker side of the surfer’s experience. Luke’s painterly, graphic and vibrant approach perfectly juxtaposes Ryan’s faded and desaturated sea photography, printed directly onto wood. Grandiose in scale, the pieces command attention and immersion.This show pays homage to urban myths and the more emotive aspects of a surf culture left behind in the wake of it’s commercial success. ‘Surf City’ opens on Friday the 14th of October and is on exhibition until the 2nd of November 2011.
