David Choe

David Choe, born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1976 and raised in Los Angeles, California, emerged as a prominent figure in the street art scene during the early 2000s.
His breakthrough came in 2005 when he was invited to paint murals at Facebook's nascent Menlo Park offices, opting for a high-risk 'pay-for-result' deal that netted him stock worth millions after Facebook's IPO.
Choe's oeuvre spans graffiti, oil paintings, and graphic novels, often infused with raw, provocative themes exploring sex, race, and urban life.
He has authored books like 'Slow Jams,' hosted the DVDASA podcast with Duncan Rouen since 2011, and starred in VICELAND's 'Thumbs Up!' travel series.
His works grace collections worldwide and have been exhibited in major galleries.
