Artist surfboard builder Dirk Westphal at DWR in Santa Monica

I received this announcement from Design Within Reach this morning.

Piscoli Fabulosi II (Latin for “Fabulous Little Fishes”): the work of Dirk Westphal. Check out his boards at http://www.dirkwestphal.com/index.html

Join us at DWR for artist Dirk Westphal’s first Los Angeles showing, a collection of photographs and surfboards featuring saltwater fish. Westphal considers surfboards as floating pieces of art and uses them as the new medium for his art. His film, How to Make a Surfboard, will be viewed continuously throughout the evening. It’s the perfect opportunity to learn more about the artist’s creative process and concepts behind his creations, while also paying homage to the Studio space’s original function as a fish store. Enjoy an evening with us as we honor the history of our studio by celebrating the new creations of an artist. Refreshments provided by Izze will be served.

RSVP to by November 23
