ahncepts Gallery Night is an event that takes place every Friday night at Kahn’s
Furniture in Miramar Beach, where a local artist is sponsored and display their
works. On August 3, local legend Harley Van Hyning of Gnarly Fish Prints was
featured. Fluent in the Japanese Art, Gyotaku, this laid-back surfer is often found
lingering on the docks waiting for his inspiration to arrive. Many fi shermen and tourists have
gone home with an artistic rendition of their catch.
Guests who were at the Kahncepts event on the 3rd enjoyed complimentary beer and wine and
some great food from Jim & Nicks, as owner Katie Kahn gave them a tour around the showroom.
They also had the opportunity to see some of Harley’s recent works that were on display and
were given an inside scoop on how he creates such an amazing and eye catching art just from a
catch that inspired him at that moment. Some guests were so intrigued by his craftsmanship that
they went home with a canvas. As one lucky purchaser said, “Beautiful art like this needs to be
over my fi replace.”
