Between freight-hopping from Los Angeles to Miami, various trips to the jungles of the Congo, and stints in Vietnam and the Gaza Strip, artist David Choe combines painting, sculpture, and graffiti to create what he dubs “dirty art.” Choe, whose work has been featured in Giant Robot, Juxtapoz, and Vice magazines and in comic journals such as Bruised Fruit, Cursiv, and Slow Jams, is the subject of Dirty Hands: The Art and Life of David Choe, a film by Harry Kim, and VBS.TV’s Thumbs Up! For this talk, the artist discusses past and current work and takes questions from the audience.
