Luke Chueh (; born March 7, 1973) is a Chinese-American lowbrow, or pop surrealist, painter.
His works tends to be a juxtaposition of the cute with the macabre, including various self-portraits reimagining himself as a bear character. Born to Chinese immigrants in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Chueh's family relocated to Fresno, California soon after his birth.
Taught illustration at a young age, he became obsessed with interpreting the popular culture imagery he was surrounded by.
Trained as graphic designer at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, he was hired as an in-house designer & illustrator at the Ernie Ball Company in 1997.
His work during this time garnered him several awards as well as features in the 1998 design annuals of both Communication Arts and Print.
Developing an addiction to painkillers, Chueh was fired from his job and relocated to Los Angeles without any prospects.
He continues to create artwork in Los Angeles with regular updates on Facebook and Instagram.
Chueh has been sober since 2010.
