Growing up in La Jolla, Calif, Jeff Divine began taking pictures of his fellow surfers in his hometown during the 1960s and got to know the original alternative sport before the mainstream media blew it into the commercial kingdom it has now come to be. His work took him to a staff position in 1971 with Surfer Magazine where he would begin the first of some 35 annual trips to the north shore of Oahu, Hi and numerous worldwide trips to the best surfing destinations. In 1981 Divine would become photo editor at Surfer, a position he held for the next 17 years. For the last 14 years he has been the photo editor at the Surfer’s journal in San Clemente, California.

Opening May 12th, 2013, Clic Gallery New York, in conjunction with Ron Kosa is proud to present the world debut of Fernando Natalici’s “The Door” (New York, 1979), one of only two known photographs in the world, featuring the early graffti work of a young Jean Michel Basquiat & Keith Haring together on one image.
Natalici’s, “The Door” was recently recovered as part of an archive of previously lost photo works, unseen for over 25 years, documenting the emergence of the Lower East Side art scene – A Downtown New York, credited as being the arbiter of the postmodern American avant-garde. The work combines the two most iconographic images of Haring & Basquiat’s career, while also uniquely presenting the work of two other greats, Whitney Biennial featured artist David Wojnarowicz & Alex Vallauri, whom is currently being featured in a personal retrospective at Brazil’s leading contemporary Art Museum, MAM.

Iain McKell explores the world with an intense eye for detail and composition. He is a keen observer of people often seeming to notice the overlooked or subject matter that is under the radar. Weather working with an unknown sitter or an iconic celebrity he brings a democratic eye to the subject. He manages to create an air of incredible atmosphere to his distinct narrative locations, often placing his subjects in curious landscapes or intimate interiors. There seems to be a magical, yet sensitive quality to the images rendering them transcendent and other worldly.
From the serie The New Gypsies by Iain McKell.
