    Luke Chueh Burnt Out Archival Print by Luke Chueh

    Burnt Out Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Museum Natural Fine Art Paper by Luke Chueh Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. “For many years, I've had the pleasure of working with 1xRUN, and I've seen them grow and diversify. For this show, I want to create an exhibition that I could only pull off with Inner State & 1xRUN. In order to do that I took full advantage of the tools and technology that they have in their on-site studio. From silkscreen reproduction to hand-embellished prints, to laser cut editions, this show will truly push the boundary of the kind of artwork I've created and explore the merging of art and commerce,” Chueh said while working in from his Los Angeles studios. For the last 20 years, Chueh has remained a fixture of the contemporary art movement, straddling the line between fine art, lowbrow, limited edition vinyl toys, and fine art prints engaging each segment with an equally devoted fanbase. In addition to creating accessible works for collectors of all price points, Damaged Goods will also feature 15 of Chueh’s signature paintings and characters.“As a working artist, I'm constantly dividing my time between the development of my studio art and the production of various products inspired by that artwork. I'm always searching for ways to re-interpret the stories and characters in my paintings and take advantage of collector trends, whether it be limited edition prints or art toys.” Luke Chueh

  • Pin Cushion Giclee Print by Luke Chueh

    Luke Chueh Pin Cushion Giclee Print by Luke Chueh

    Pin Cushion Artwork Limited Edition Giclee Print on 290gsm Moab Entrada Paper by Modern Artist Luke Chueh. 2010 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 20x20 Luke Chueh's "Pin Cushion" captures contemporary discomfort meshed with childlike simplicity, characteristic of the pop art movement's fusion of popular culture and fine art. Released in 2010, this limited edition giclee print resonates with the qualities of street art through its accessibility and the immediacy of its emotional impact. With its production limited to 100 signed and numbered pieces, it's crafted on 290gsm Moab Entrada paper, a choice that ensures longevity and enhances the visual experience with its textured surface. In the artwork, a seemingly innocent and straightforward character—a bear—becomes a vessel for a complex expression of emotion. The bear, punctuated by pins with tiny red hearts, stands against a deep red backdrop. This stark color palette is visually arresting and symbolic, possibly signifying pain, love, or a combination. The juxtaposition of an endearing childhood toy against the brutal reality of pain, suggested by the pins, strikes a powerful chord. It reflects Chueh's ability to navigate the nuances of human emotion, making a statement about the pain often hidden behind a calm exterior. "Pin Cushion" is more than a decorative piece; it's a commentary, subtle yet sharp, on the nature of suffering and the human tendency to conceal emotional distress. Luke Chueh himself is known for his anthropomorphic figures that tackle themes of despair with a satirical edge. Giclee printing, a process favored for fine art reproductions, retains the detail and color of Chueh's original work, ensuring that each piece in the limited series reflects the artist's intent with clarity and precision. Collectors and enthusiasts of modern art view "Pin Cushion" as a poignant addition to pop art and street art, where the ordinary is transformed into a platform for extraordinary commentary. Chueh's work sits comfortably in the urban contemporary art scene, often discussed alongside graffiti art for its bold visuals and the urban culture influences that inform its aesthetic and thematic qualities. This piece is a symbol of modern emotional expression, wrapped in the cloak of pop art's visual appeal.

  • Low Fidelity Green Archival Print by Luke Chueh

    Luke Chueh Low Fidelity Green Archival Print by Luke Chueh

    Low Fidelity Green Archival Print by Luke Chueh Archival Pigment Fine Art Limited Edition Print on Fine Art Paper Pop Artist Modern Artwork. 2022 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 16x20 Emotive Resonance in Luke Chueh's "Low Fidelity Green" "Low Fidelity Green," an archival print by Luke Chueh, is a quintessential representation of the dynamic capacity of pop art to resonate deeply with personal and collective experiences. This 2022 signed and numbered limited edition print, measuring 16x20 inches, embodies the essence of Chueh's artistic expression within pop art, street art, and graffiti artwork. The piece is yet to have its edition size determined, adding a layer of anticipation and exclusivity to its release. This artwork features Chueh's signature character, a bear, portrayed in profile against a stark green background. The bear, a recurring motif in Chueh's work, is rendered monochromatic, except for the headphones, which stand out in contrast. This visual dichotomy is a hallmark of Chueh's style, wherein he uses color sparingly but impactfully to draw attention to the focal points of his narratives. Luke Chueh's Artistic Dialogue with Pop Culture Luke Chueh's "Low Fidelity Green" continues the artist's dialogue with modern art through the lens of street pop art and graffiti artwork. The bear, often seen as a projection of the artist's persona, is lost in the world of sound, disconnected from its surroundings by the headphones. The title, "Low Fidelity," suggests a commentary on the quality of sound or the nature of the bear's engagement with its environment — low fidelity not just in a technological sense but in a broader existential context. Chueh's work is lauded for its simplicity, yet the emotional depth it reaches is anything but simple. Like much of his work, this print is a play on the contrasts between the innocence of his chosen subjects and the often sobering realities they portray. In "Low Fidelity Green," the artist delves into the concept of introspection and howe in music, using it as a medium to either disconnect from our troubles or confront them more intimately. In the narrative of street pop art, Chueh's "Low Fidelity Green" is a poignant addition that captures the contemporary zeitgeist. The print's allure lies in its aesthetic value and its ability to open up spaces for reflection and connection with the viewer. As with many of Chueh's pieces, the power of the image lies in its relatability — the solitary figure in the hoodie is at once Chueh himself and every one of us, encapsulating universal feelings of isolation, contemplation and the search for meaning in the routine of daily life. Through this and other works, Luke Chueh has established himself as a significant figure in pop art. His ability to synthesize street art sensibilities with acceptable art practices has resulted in a body of work that is both accessible and profound. "Low Fidelity Green" is another testament to Chueh's skillful blend of the personal with the pop, ensuring his place as an artist who reflects the times and shapes the contours of modern pop artwork.

Luke Chueh's Contribution to Contemporary Art

His figures, frequently animals cast in human scenarios, carry an emotional gravity that belies their simple presentation.

Born in Philadelphia but a longtime resident of Los Angeles, Chueh's career has spanned various facets of the art world, including illustration, painting, and toy design. His stylized figures, appearing in galleries in the early 2000s, reflect a fusion of Eastern influences gleaned from his Chinese heritage with the raw aesthetics of the West Coast art scene.
