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.
