Luke Chueh Headphones Print Release Details

Luke Chueh returns to 1xRUN today with a new print titled Headphones.

"Headphones" was created for my 2014 solo show, "Self-ish", at Corey Helford Gallery. As the show title implies, the paintings created for the show had an autobiographic theme. As most have come to expect from me, most of the paintings from this show were rich in metaphor and symbolism, but there were a couple of paintings that I created that were simply reflections of my everyday life. "Headphones" is one of those paintings.

As the painting illustrates, my rabbit stands, wearing a hoody and dawning a pair of headphones. On a good day, you can find me assuming the same pose, going for a walk around my neighborhood, listening to whatever suits my mood." - Luke Chueh

The print goes on sale Thursday at NOON EST at 1xRUN.com

Luke Chueh Boba Print Release Details

Luke Chueh strikes back again with 1xRUN today with his Boba print.

"The idea for this painting has been in my head for years now. I love puns and incorporating them into my paintings is one of my favorite things to do. I was basically waiting for the perfect show to feature the work, and they came around when Corey Helford Gallery had their "Pop-Eyeconic" group show.

I think this painting is especially poignant for me because it incorporates so many different aspects of my being. Star Wars if undeniably a big part of who I am. And like most kids my age, Boba Fett was a personal favorite. Boba Tea (or Bubble Tea) is something I can also be easily associate with through my Asian ethnicity. And the hoodie is my favorite article of clothing. The painting was sold at the show, and though I still have the original sketches and stuff around, I don't usually sell them unless there's an occasion, like a book release or something of the sort." - Luke Chueh

BOOK REVIEW: The Art of Luke Chueh Bearing the Unbearable

“Like a cuddly Trojan horse, Chueh’s work is pretty on the outside, but nice and macabre on the inside” - Entertainment Weekly

The eagerly awaited first book from critically acclaimed pop surrealist artist Luke Chueh, THE ART OF LUKE CHUEH presents Chueh's bold and unusual art -- employing minimal color schemes, simple animal characters, and a seemingly endless list of ill-fated situations.

Chueh has enjoyed success in the Lowbrow and Pop Surrealist art movements, and has risen to the forefront of the art scene in LA., featuring at sold-out shows, including the popular Crazy 4 Cult at Gallery 1988, in and around Los Angeles for the past four years. With a dedicated following, some of Chueh's characters have been recreated as a line of toys. Chueh also designed the cover for Fall Out Boy’s album Folie a Deux.

When I first opened the book and started flipping through it and looking at it I was instantly mesmerized by the gorgeous pictures and layout. I settled on reading Jensen Karp's introduction and how they have worked together and achieved more success then they ever thought possible. What really surprised me though is what happened the night they first met. I don't want to give anything away but in this digital age of instant information you think you have read and know just about everything but you can still learn something from reading a book. I'm glad Luke is still with us creating great work. 

The book is really nice at 192 pages (the listing for it on Amazon says 160 and its wrong) and measuring 9.3x12.5. From 2003-2009 his paintings, toys and other work is laid out by year. Details on each piece are also listed like title, size, year and medium. My only suggestion would be to include the show or event a piece was created for as well. The introduction for each year is done by a friends such as Pete Wentz (Fallout Boy), the Madden brothers (Good Charlotte), Gary Pressman (Copro Gallery) and others. There are insights from Luke through out the book as well about his work. 

Overall it is a great body of work and interesting to see his progression as an artist through the years. Hardcore fans and casual fans will be entertained and gain a new appreciation for his work. Titan Books and Gallery 1988 have done a brilliant job with this one.

Frank (Luke Chueh vs. Donnie Darko) is still my favorite

The book is available for pre-order at Amazon.com right now and its on sale. The book will be released on June 12. Before the official release he has a book signing and art show at Gallery 1988.

 

 A retrospective featuring paintings from 2003-2009. To commemorate the release, Gallery 1988 be showcasing a selection of original sketches from which several paintings from the book were based on.
The sketches will be on display from June 9th through June 16th at the Gallery 1988 Melrose location.
