The Art of Luke Chueh [Hardcover]

Luke Chueh (Author), Gallery 1988 (Editor)

Book Description

Release date: June 12, 2012

"Like a cuddly Trojan horse, Chueh's work is pretty on the outside, but nice and macabre on the inside": so says Entertainment Weekly of LA-based artist Luke Chueh. 

Employing minimal color schemes, simple animal characters, and a seemingly endless list of ill-fated situations, Chueh has enjoyed cult acclaim and sell-out shows, making this, his first book, an eagerly awaited one.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is 192 pages of pure awesome. I definitely consider myself a fan now. This guy does wonders with paint and brush, I can attest to that. If you like his work, this book is for you. If not, well…this collection may convince you otherwise." – Geeks of Doom

About the Author

LA-based artist Luke Chueh stylistically balances cute with brute, walking the fine line between comedy and tragedy. Chueh's work has been featured in galleries around the world, and some of his paintings have also been reinterpreted into vinyl toys.

I have been a fan of LUKE for awhile and his artwork has always been little out of my price range so when he made a book I had to get it. I purchased the special edition and the extra print of stich and cut is really awesome ready to frame.
Not only does it have all his great artwork a lot of the newer stuff too not everything but all the old stuff is in there.
I love not only the images but the stories of how Luke started and has affected the people he came in contact with.
I have this book on my coffee table and anyone that sees it always pcks it up and wants to read the whole thing.
I am thinking about purchasing a second book so I can actually frame some of the pages as they look that good even in the book.
I recommend this book if you like Luke's work dont pass this up and if some special editions are left definetly pick 1 up you wont regret it.
