RIP CURL MIRAGE WILKO KFISH BOARDSHORTS

KFiSH / Kelcey Fisher was born in southern Florida. Fittingly, his home has almost always been by the ocean: First the Gulf coast, then the Atlantic, then the Pacific…through San Diego. Inspired by the connections felt and found, as his family made new homes and left loves ones.

Ultimately, settling here in Venice Beach, where KFiSH made his first real impact in the mid-2000s splashing his colorful, frenetic pattern work and iconic portraits of friends and heroes, in and along the places and paths of his community.

His first admirers described his artwork as Controlled Chaos: on the surface, vibrant almost happy repeats of color, but with a more complex and moody structure the deeper one chooses to dive. Similar to the man himself, his work is informed by the vibrant colors of the beach culture with the underlying depth and turbulence of the sea.
