David Hinnebusch Artworks Presents ART IN THE SUN

March 20, 2011 - PRLog -- For the first time in history, from noon to 3PM on April 2, 2011, The Point Dume Club of Malibu, California, will open it’s guarded gates to allow Art in the Sun, an outdoor exhibition of 10 new paintings by artist David Hinnebusch to be seen. During the clubs annual spring garage sale, the Point Dume Club makes itself open to the public.  Mr. Hinnebusch, a new resident with a heartfelt past in Malibu, is taking this opportunity to share his work in the community.
Art in the Sun, narrates the story of the major successes for Mr. Hinnebusch finding his place in the Southern California art scene. Starting in 1975 at age 11, the 46-year old Malibu painter fell in love with Paradise Cove and spent hot summers with the family of his best friend Marvin Graham, boogie boarding, watching the filming of TV shows Rockford Files and Baa Baa Black Sheep, feeding the dogs frozen grunion (now strictly illegal) off the sandy trailer linoleum and eating peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches with cold milk after a ocean filled day in the sun. These were not artistic days for Hinnebusch; he played Dungeons and Dragons (just invented), an learned about Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho) from Marvin’s parents, and was about to get into punk rock and start the Malibu punk rock band Entropy.

In 1990 he moved to Venice. Ten years later gentrification forced him back into Santa Monica shortly after realizing his childhood dream of moving to Brooks Avenue. This year, ironically enough, he and his new family have found themselves back in Malibu- another dream come true!

“ Art in the Sun celebrates my travels through the neighborhoods from the Venice Canals to Point Dume.”

Biography:
For Malibu, California painter David Hinnebusch, artistic work has evolved over his 46 years with a special interest in the joy of creating. "Art encourages, or gives joy (or fear and loathing) to the viewer." An linguistics scholar, Hinnebusch’s father moved his wife and David from Pittsburgh to Tanzania, then to Los Angeles, then Kenya, and finally accepted a professorship at UCLA. Hinnebusch recalls growing up in Africa with fondness. “I was the only American kid, I got along with the African children, the European children picked on me. It was always ‘Yank’ this, and ‘Yank’ that.” However, traveling back and forth between the United States and Africa during the political tumult of the early ’70s did serve to develop David’s worldly and inquisitive nature at a very green age. He remembers a question he posed to his father at a soldier surrounded Uganda Entebbe International Airport. “I was 10, and while we were waiting to get on a plane, I went to my father and asked ‘Dad, who’s crazier, Idi Amin or Richard Nixon?’ I think he said 'Shush!'.” David started his creative career writing children's' adventure books at age 8 in Africa, singing in the Los Angeles punk rock band Entropy, and then began using the camera to paint for a living in 1990.
