" David Choe, brave, bold and vulgar US artist has teamed up with the Lazarides Galleries in both London and Newcastle to show a series of powerful new works called ‘Murderous Heart’.
Choe’s ascent has been as rapid and diverse as his output, and his award-winning work can be found pretty much everywhere, from comics to magazines, trainers to films, toys to t-shirts. For his first solo show in the UK, Choe has created works that have become paintings through the art of wanting to kill. Large and small, powerful and cheeky, these canvases are made with typical Choe-style panache using water colours, acrylics, spraypaint, ink pen, pencils and oils. Beautiful girls with manga lips and jutting breasts wrestle for space against violent, guerrilla machine-men wielding street weapons. Yet out of the chaos comes a thoughtful kaleidoscope of colour and clever technique, creating a body of work that is like Choe himself – challenging, and playful."
