  • Luke Chueh sitting in his studio

    Chueh delves into the delicate art of Balancing contradictions: heartbreak softened by humor, cuteness overcome with melancholy, and sincerity intertwined with sarcasm... Known for his signature totems of bears and rabbits, Chueh draws viewers into an emotional space that is at once deeply personal but yet widely relatable.

  • Luke Chueh signing prints

    The works in Making Light of the Darkness reflect a shift in tone for the artist: softer, more introspective, while still subtly playful and self aware. However once the curtain of cuteness is pulled back, the works retain the emotional weight that has long defined his practice. In paintings like Everything’s Fine, a bear sits serenely while engulfed in flames, an analog painting created within a digital meme-ified world.
