Art In The Sun: New Works by David Hinnebusch

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!
