Luke Chueh: It is what it is
Luke Chueh's It is what it is is a collection of new paintings that oscillate between cute and macabre, using dark humour to explore deeper themes.
As the title suggests, It is what it is is not bound by a singular concept or theme. Instead, the works interweave a spectrum of narratives, from the whimsical to the introspective and occasionally brutal, blood-soaked violence. Chueh's signature anthropomorphic animal characters and minimalist style bring these varied stories to life, drawing the audience into his raw and expressive world. At once haunting and humorous, Chueh's work often blurs the line between cute and brutal in novel ways. Unafraid to address complex and controversial topics such as race and self-destructive behaviour, Chueh explores themes of loneliness, depression, and the meaning of existence, encouraging viewers to confront their fears and insecurities in the process. It is what it is is an invitation to reflect on the human experience in all its beauty, tragedy, and absurdity.
