Not sure if you’re up for an art overdose this morning? You might want to back off on this collaboration between Desillusion Magazine, Raen Optics, and RVCA. It is titled This Is Alex and it’s a profile of Alex Knost. Here’s what they say:
Hailing from Costa Mesa, California, Alex Knost certainly stands out of the crowd; a worthy heir to a surf culture that’s made up of pioneers, and numerous creative artists. After having followed in the footsteps of his spiritual big brother, Joel Tudor, Alex became in turn one of the best long boarders in the world, paddling his way to the front of the scene, in a counter culture that we thought was drowning under the waves of an extremely lucrative economy- surf industry. Almost uncatchable, the man flits like a butterfly from one art to the next (from photography to video, board shapes to music) trying to, like he says “lose himself in anything he does, hoping to exceed the limits that society has set him”.
See what we mean about the art overdose? Either way, it’s quality video work and Knost is a compelling subject.
