Item Description
Trevor Mezak is a mixed media artist based in Southern California, working in a studio he built himself. Largely self-taught, he draws inspiration from his early experiences with his father, when he learned to use tools and to work with his own hands. Since then, Mezak has channeled his daredevil personality into a body of work that aims to create a tactile conversation between what is manufactured and what is naturally found in the environment.
The materials with which Mezak works—reclaimed wood, concrete slabs, metal, nails, screws, gunpowder—are more familiar to construction sites but are ultimately transformed into abstract, painterly gestures of pure texture. A devoted surfer who regularly tests prototype boards and is sponsored by Hurley, Mezak’s connection with the unpredictability and power of the ocean translates into his artistic practice. The exchange of energy, whether it be using power tools or a palette knife, is what unites Mezak’s personal experience with his surroundings.
The surfboard artwork was created with a concrete base, acrylic paint and metal. As a surfer and an artist, Mezak has always been drawn to the power of the ocean. This piece was inspired by a storm surf series he has been working on and painted on a Brawner 8 foot Gun surfboard.
