City girl in the flesh is great Silky. Either edition but to my mind 76 in particular. There is one at the lazinc print shop. Go and have a looksy next time you are in town.

From Scion website:

"David Choe is one of the most diverse and prolific artists working today. He is one of the youngest artists to ever have solo show at the MOCA. He has had his art shown on every surface from canvases to human bodies to third world ,war torn walls, it can be found in every facet of society, from fancy galleries, museums, t-shirts, shoes, movies, billboards, cars, murals, buildings, from New York City to the Congo, Africa to everywhere in between.

David has spoken and lectured at Princeton, DUKE, Dartmouth and other art colleges, he works in every medium, and can paint anything and everything as well as on anything and everything. He has designed and created fine art, murals, movie sets, movie posters, album covers, shoes, t-shirts, toys, calendars, commercials, cars, magazines, books, illustrations for porn and children’s story books, comics, animation, curated art shows, art directed books and magazines. As well as self-publishing all his own books which have all won numerous awards and are sold out.

He has traveled, train hopped and hitchhiked all over the world many times over spreading his art."

Cool interview on Fecal Face:

Randomly came across this post by artist Stella Im Hultberg in her blog. Apparently she is a fan too along with artist Audrey Kawasaki who also posts a comment. Both really good artists in their own right.

Very under-conversated (is that even a word???) on here considering all the drivel about flippers and dolphins and all that malarky that keeps revolving!

not sure thats a bad thing though as im sure that its slipped under a few people radars!

I love the fact he's not flavour of the month.

He is in my house.

And what does that say about this forums members that there is not much talk about Choe? Hmmm.

Or it could be that after all the hype surrounding previous artists shows, maybe people are letting this one be what it will be.

I can see the canvas of the girl with her hands over her mouth being one of the prints.


And Silky, if you've never seen a Choe that you liked , I'm sure there will be a new Hutch along soon ;)to make up for it for you. ;D

[ricosg11]

if those paintings are any indication of whats coming...holy crap.

[manty]

[Simococo]

[Rourke]

Cheers

I wouldn't read into too much based on what you see on this forum. There are A LOT of people who are very interested in this show.

Totally agree to that. This forum is powerful, but not the only reflection of the urban art scene. You can find alot of helpful(mainly UK based) info here, but this is not the centre of the scene.

[Rude Copper]

i think choe has been caught up in the fallout of last years over enthusiasm for the next big thing & the quick buck, for my money, he's one of the more exciting artist's to emerge from this scene,
dont be suprised to turn up at these previews to see red dots everywhere, i think this will be laz's most succesful show in ages.
as for the prints, i hope the interest stays the same, the release day carnage gets on my nerves.

[Winter]

Will there be prints available at the show(s)?

His new work looks a little rushed in comparison to his earlier pieces, with almost a regression in his direction and quality. One can't help think he's cashing in on the current UK market with 2 shows at once. But I'm sure it will sell like hot cakes.

[Martin Whatson]

Somehow I bet this was more Laz's idea to try and up the status of his other venues by also giving them the attention of a big opening. Smart move.

I also like the SAUL one best so far whatson. Some crazy looking stuff.

[trasbash]

i must admit the hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil look great but they have no where near the standard of execution that city girl has.

[solar77]

Any Choe updates? Who's heading down for the opening?

[anthoz]

just got back from newcastle
truely awsome stuff and the installation from david is totally epic in every sense
most stuff seemed to be selling but not everything
claire at Laz told me that everything in london had sold but it wasnt the case straight away in Newcastle
