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

The artist states:

“SNOWMAN MONKEY BBQ is my first art exhibition in almost 4 years. why haven’t i shown in so long? I been percolatin’ i was busy destroying myself like any decent artist. 4 years of falling deep into addiction, heartbreak, rejoicing , discovery , recovery , hallucinogenics, worship and ignorant idiotic prophecies manifest and explode into a strange reality that I myself can’t comprehend, it will encompass murals, sculptures , watercolors , oil, mixed media and if you’re lucky and I’m fucked off this mezcal , maybe some performance art too! It is an honor to display my work in one of my most favorite places in the world , Mexico City! (I’m eating a sweetbread taco and typing this with one hand right now) at the Museo Universitario del Chopo http://www.chopo.unam.mx/exposiciones/davidchoe.html if you’re in town saturday , august 17th come check it out . I’ll make it worth your while.”

NYCHOS in San Francisco with a Mural In Progress…

Austria based artist Nychos of the Weird Crew begins a large scale mural in San Francisco today.  Known for his impressive skill in exploded and anatomically dissected subjects in his  illustrations and street art, we can’t wait to see  how this new animal taking shape in the city of San Francisco will turn out to be.  This mural was made possible by Fifty24SF Gallery, Chris Shaher of WallspaceSF and yours truly.

Check out these photos taken today… more to come.
