Description
"Like a cuddly Trojan horse, Chueh's work is pretty on the outside, but nice and macabre on the inside": so says "Entertainment Weekly" of LA-based artist Luke Chueh. Employing minimal color schemes, simple animal characters, and a seemingly endless list of ill-fated situations, Chueh has enjoyed cult acclaim and sell-out shows, making this, his first book, an eagerly awaited one.

Chueh's work has been featured in galleries around the world, and some of his paintings have also been reinterpreted into vinyl toys.
