LAzarides presents David Choe - Nothing To Declare, by publicsquare on Apr 22, 2010 23:14:17 GMT 1, I'm really looking forward to tonight, it's going to be amazing! I heard that the prints that were made for the show are trapped in London because of the volcano, is that true?

agreed ill be there tonight as well, and yes its true...
We were to be releasing new David Choe prints this week, to coincide with the opening of his solo show 'Nothing To Declare' which Lazarides is presenting at its brand new venue in Los Angeles. But like millions of travelers across the globe, our prints are in Limbo (a large building on the edge of Hell, previously known as an 'Airport') their delivery scuppered by an unpredictable and unpronounceable volcano in Iceland.

I was afraid that might be true, what a shame!

LAzarides presents David Choe - Nothing To Declare, by Hanging Around on Apr 23, 2010 0:34:22 GMT 1, does anyone know what the prints might be?
from what i have seen on the thread, sensitive asian asshole would be a good choice, but it looks like its going to be a cracking show, choe seems to be painting with increased passion and stronger colours this time around

LAzarides presents David Choe - Nothing To Declare, by Lazarides London on Apr 23, 2010 0:51:22 GMT 1, Hypebeast interview with Choe...
HB: Since your last show, what have you been up to?
DC: I met a girl that looked like she stepped out of one my paintings, we fell in love and I’m shooting rainbows out of my dick. It’s affecting the palette of my current show, it’s my most colorful show to date. I feel gay in the gayest way, less angry, and gays like to celebrate, so I’m celebrating with lots of colors. It’s very expressive, I basically went from one show into the next with no rest, I know fighters aren’t supposed to fuck before the big fight, but I’m not a fighter so I’m fucking my brains out and having the best sex of my life and painting all day and night… fucking, painting, fucking, painting, fucking, painting, fucking and more fucking.
HB: Does growing up as an Asian American factor into your art?
DC: Of course you big dummy! I don’t have to squint my eyes when I’m painting small details because they already squinty.
HB: What are your thoughts on the current art scene?
DC: It’s so nice to be surrounded by all this horrific dog shit art everywhere, it makes me look and smell better than I really am, thanks guys!
HB: What can you attribute your success to?
DC: Sucking dick, and I’m talking literally deep throating my way to the top and having a basic pedestrian understanding of composition.
HB: How would you describe your change and progression as an artist?
DC: Like being HIV positive for a decade and then finally getting AIDS. I’m totally gonna butcher this Picasso quote, but he sad something like “It took me four years to paint like Da Vinci, but a lifetime to learn to paint like a retarded kid”… Picasso already did all the research for me, I can already paint like Da Vinci, and I don’t want to spend the entire rest of my life trying to paint like a retarded kid, so instead I just cut to the chase and hire retarded kids to paint my shit for me. They work hard and are cheap, all I have to do is open the paint can lids for them and give them butter and sugar Wonder Bread sandwiches with the crusts cut off… Give them some tang and a Hershey bar and they’ll go all night.
HB: What’s it like to present this upcoming show in LA?
DC: Like finally getting to fuck and explode inside and outside the hottest cuntiest girl you never got to bone in high school, but beat off to everyday after school.
HB: Barron Storey is a widely respected teacher and a huge inspiration for many of his students and artists. Can you tell me more about how he has influenced you?
DC: If you want to be the best you have to learn from the best, Barron Storey is the king.
HB: Do you find it difficult to balance your personal life with being an artist?
DC: That’s a bullshit question because there is no balance, all or nothing. I have no personal life, it’s all on view for the world to see. It’s fucked up every chance I’ve ever had at having a normal stable life, we all have to choose our destiny. We all choose our fate. It takes incredible sacrifice, for those who want to keep balancing on the fence and don’t want to pick a side, keep balancing forever and see how that feels.
HB: From previous videos and interviews, it seems that you are an adamant gambler. Do you feel the act of gambling correlates with art making?
DC: Of course, it’s just lines and pigment on paper. If you cant take any chances with your own art, your fucking doomed to mediocrity. Don’t be a pussy, challenge the summit. Ok gotta go finish painting and fucking.

Smack in the middle of Beverly Hills. This show will definitely turns some heads...and suits for that matter.

Those watercolours are beautiful.
As for the acrylic / oil stuff, I think I preferred his darker stuff. That's 'love' for you I suppose!

LAzarides presents David Choe - Nothing To Declare, by RPM on Apr 23, 2010 18:25:27 GMT 1, The show is absolutely fantastic and proves to me that David Choe is one of the greatest of our time. I see many big things to come from him and in the future, this show will be seen as his "coming out." Took waaay too many photos to post here so here's a link to my Flickr where you can find them - www.flickr.com/photos/rpm4
It was nice to see so many of the pieces had sold. Even crazier was the line of people waiting to buy things. Congrats to David and the Laz people for putting together such an amazing show.

LAzarides presents David Choe - Nothing To Declare, by brittbritt on Apr 23, 2010 22:18:58 GMT 1, Going to the public opening tonight. Really wish I didn't look at the preview pics. Kind of spoiled me...
One thing I'm curious about though: Why would they have a street-art show in a retail store at the Beverly Drive Mall? Why not a dirty old warehouse downtown; Banksy style? The photos show the work being displayed in what looks like dressing rooms?
I guess I'll wait to see for myself tonight! Really looking forward to it...
