David Choe

David Choe is a Los Angeles-based artist known for his raw, expressive figurative paintings and graffiti-influenced street art that combines elements of punk aesthetics with traditional Asian art influences. He gained widespread recognition for his murals at Facebook's headquarters in 2005, where he accepted stock options as payment that eventually became worth hundreds of millions of dollars. His work has been exhibited internationally and featured in prestigious publications, while his distinctive style blends gestural brushwork, violent imagery, and autobiographical narratives exploring themes of desire, excess, and cultural identity.
