David Choe is an American figure painter, muralist, graffiti artist and graphic novelist of Korean descent. His figure paintings, which explore themes of desire, degradation, and exaltation, are characterized by a raw, frenetic tone that he has termed "dirty style." In the graffiti world, he is identified with the bucktoothed whale he has been spray-painting on the streets since he was in his teens.
I have chosen to look into David Choes work as he reminds me of Banksey, with how he uses the streets and influences around him but does what he wants which ties into the theme of freedom. I like davids work as it is original with the many medias he uses and very different to the everyday art you see around.
