Los Angeles, absence makes the heart grow founder… So, David Choe (featured), welcome home!

AM had the pleasure of stopping by David Choe’s warehouse/studio earlier this week for a little visit […]

Streets: David Choe in LA

Posted by sleepboy, March 10, 2010

Looks like David Choe (featured) has been plastering the streets of Los Angeles in preparation for his solo show (teased) in the City of Angels at the end of April. “Nothing to Declare” will be put on by Lazarides in Beverly Hills in a special space and rumors are Choe’s show won’t be the only show hosted in that location before all is said and done.

Openings: David Choe – “Character Assassination” @ Fifty24SF

Posted by Ken, February 8, 2010

David Choe opened his latest show, “Character Assassination” last Thursday night at FIFTY24SF. Choe, who has deep ties with both the Bay Area, as well as the Upper Playground family, brought an incredibly large turnout for his long awaited SF return. The reason attendees waited for upwards of thirty minutes to check out the show? Mostly because it was awesome! David came with enough artwork to fill two galleries, giving fans a chance to check out almost every limited edition print he’s ever done as […]

Studio Visits: David Choe

Part recording studio, part screen print press, this live/work space provides the ideal creative getaway for the ever traveling artist. David opened his doors for a […]

Teaser: David Choe – “Character Assassination” @ FIFTY24SF

Posted by Ken, January 20, 2010

David Choe will be returning to his roots this February 5th with a solo show at FIFTY24SF. Interestingly enough, David’s first gallery show ever, almost a decade ago, was at the fledgling FIFTY24SF gallery. For “Character Assassination,” Choe will be bringing a new body of paintings and prints – even some that were believed to be long sold out. David recently sent us a teaser pic, however, we had to put it after the jump as it’s NSFW, not that anything David does should ever […]
