Description

"Like a cuddly Trojan horse, Chueh's work is pretty on the outside, but nice and macabre on the inside": so says "Entertainment Weekly" of LA-based artist Luke Chueh. Employing minimal color schemes, simple animal characters, and a seemingly endless list of ill-fated situations, Chueh has enjoyed cult acclaim and sell-out shows, making this, his first book, an eagerly awaited one.

Author Biography

LA-based artist Luke Chueh stylistically balances cute with brute, walking the fine line between comedy and tragedy. Chueh's work has been featured in galleries around the world, and some of his paintings have also been reinterpreted into vinyl toys. Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles has become the nation's number one destination for pop-culture themed artwork.
