'David Choong Lee' Micron 08 Pen on Bristol Paper 19x24in. $450 Unframed A San Francisco classic, I immediately started becoming familiar with the work of @davidchoonglee just weeks after first moving to SF in the summer of 2003. From seeing his works at galleries such as @111minnagallery and @lunarienne , learning more if his works from new local artists I befriended at the time, various printed publications and often seeing him on the street in downtown SF; I soon realized David was a staple in the SF art community. I've witnessed various manifestations of David's work over the years from depictions of the local homeless population, representations of people and figures on cigar box assemblage installations, various mixed media pieces showing individuals of the local art/music scene, all the way to his more spiritually driven abstract works of present. He is also know for his published books: 'God Made Dirt, And Dirt Don't Hurt', '4 Words', 'DIRT' and 'Convergence'. "The artist usually starts his paintings without a proper idea of what he’ll paint or how his artworks are going to look like in the end. His painting process also represents a process of discovery as the image starts to take on a life of its own. He uses acrylic, latex and aerosol paint to create works that can be described as moving between organic and geometric. His non-figurative vividly colored compositions arise from what he calls his inner visions deeply rooted inside the artist’s soul. His works are inspired by meticulous studies of physics and Darwinism. Every one of his images contained slightly altered forms and variations that show the beauty present in details." - Mirus Gallery #davidchoonglee #chakras #mirusgallery #sanfrancisco (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7vKo5pAOp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
