Art / David Choe
LA-based renaissance man David Choe draws from toy culture and comics as much as he does from Japanese painting and conceptual high art. Choe has a massive body of work, which includes sculptures, installations, murals, paintings, photographs, and graphic novels. Legend has it that his first exhibition at an ice cream shop stayed up two years longer than originally planned because his pieces sold faster than the ice cream itself.
