This past Friday marked the opening of two new exhibits in our gallery by Luke Chueh & J★RYU (Jesse Yu).

Luke's I Am Your Plaything features a broad selection of toy-related paintings as well as a few non-toy-themed pieces and a couple great 3d pieces. In particular, we're enamored with Luke's Full of Shit Russian nesting dolls (shown above)...a wonderful, if somewhat self-deprecating, self-portrait if we've ever seen one. 

For his first solo exhibit, The Ghost of You Haunted Me…, J★RYU came out guns blazing, featuring a large selection of beautifully-sculpted originals and a very cool resin edition of Saplings. The recurrent ghost theme and naturalesque elements, expertly crafted, almost have to be seen in person to fully appreciate the wonderful amount of details.

Our friends at Clutter Magazine have a couple great interviews with both artists here (Luke) and here (J★RYU) if you want a little more insight to both artists.

Both exhibits continue in our gallery through September 30, and are also viewable online on our gallery website.
