SNOWMAN MONKEY BBQ: OPENS TODAY IN MEXICO CITY at MUSEO UNIVERSITARIO DEL CHOPO

TODAY, Los Angeles based painter, illustrator, DVDASA host, and entertainer, David Choe is opening his first exhibition in almost 4 years at Museo Universitario del Chopo in Mexico City, Mexico. The show consisting of a giant colorful mural in Choe’s signature “dirty style” looms over a new collection of collage sculptures, found object installations and a great number of watercolors and paintings that he’s produced in an incredibly short period of time.

Choe’s new body of work, bearing the spirit and weight of his 4 years of silence seem to explode with aggressive colors, textures and details. His characters shaped by his whimsical sense of humor and delicate techniques maintain Choe’s reputation as a master painter of his generation and does not disappoint.

SNOWMAN MONKEY BBQ runs from AUGUST 17TH, 2013 – OCTOBER 27TH, 2013

Museo Universitario del Chopo
Dr Enrique Gonzalez Mtz #10
