San Jose, CA – On Friday, April 8th, Cukui proudly presents, “Low Life,” a series of Lowrider photographs by Trevor Traynor. The opening reception will feature motion visuals by John Coyne, a handful of Car Club appearances.
Traynor has spent years documenting hip hop culture but after a chance encounter with a Lowrider car club he has now turned his lens toward this historic subculture. Last Cinco de Mayo he jumped in the back of a flan colored 69 Buick Skylark convertible and documented his first cruise. (The video is linked below) Trevor elaborates, “Since that day I have been hooked. My eyes are wide open to the Lowrider Lifestyle. I have been studying the culture and documenting different chapters and car clubs. My goal is to showcase the riders and their cars, the passion and the pride that are a part of Lowrider living.”
In addition to Trevor’s limited edition prints a limited run of Low Life gold keychains and Trevor Traynor X Cukui T-shirts will also be available for sale opening night. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch the premiere of this new body of work.
