Imo this collection of work is a lot more interesting than the Laz show and a step forward for DC. I like some of his defacing of Chinese propaganda art. Quality!   
that first picture is incredible - truly talented
thanks for posting them

That's impressive! Someone's been working hard! And it's paid off imo, as some of the Laz images seemed a touch rushed, bordering on unfinished, in comparison to these. I wish I'd been this wowed by the Laz pieces, but even though there were a few nice pieces, overall I wasn't. I can't stop looking at them. I keep changig my mind which I like the most, they're such strong paintings and a great showcase of DC's ability!

Photos: David Choe new Show in China, by lee3 on Apr 5, 2009 19:40:07 GMT 1, The more i look at this body of work, I really have to wonder- is he begging to have this show shut down? At the very least it seems he is pushing his luck by defacing their currency and the woman giving head on chinese propaganda with plenty of nudity. I personally love it but I have the impression (perhaps wrongly) that the Chinese government has had very little patience for things in the past that I consider far more tame.

A leopard won't change its' spots overnight I guess. A fantastic show none the less. I wonder how it's all priced up. Any ideas/info?

Photos: David Choe new Show in China, by lee3 on Apr 5, 2009 23:14:36 GMT 1, Every time I see a bunch of his new work I pull out my computer and keep looking it over and today is no different. Another thought that has come to mind as I continue to pour over some of the works on bags and especially the sculptures (love the bike with water bottles and the one with the badminton birdie) and works on found wood is whether or not this was deliberate, subconscious, or completely unrelated to Rauschenberg's recent passing? Choe is certainly carrying on the dirty art baton in a fashion that is all his own but this is on another level and I really can't help but wonder. Why the F did I decide to stay home and not fly over there for this?
And I realize that Mao has been done a million times thanks to Warhol but I'm enjoying him in a pink cardigan with that crazy white paint.

I think the chances of him getting in trouble are pretty slim, China is a lot different than a lot of people think .. when I did the show in Beijing I painted a big fat Mao Panda on the wall and people thought it was funny... people are generally so OVER Mao... they just want a fancy car and a big fridge and a cool pair of trainers like the rest of the world... As the USA loses its superpowers China is going the other way.
