Dirty Hands: The Art And Crimes Of David Choe DVD
revealing documentary on infamous street artist turned art star
You've seen his work on walls and gallery across the world, from LA to NY, Africa, the middle East, and even the White House (the famous Obama "HOPE" portrait), but have you ever stopped to think what's going on in David Choe's dirty mind?
Dirty Hands: The Art And Crimes Of David Choe paints a revealing and intense portrait, getting into the head of the artist during a turbulent time in his life. This was filmed before his art stardom fully bloomed (way before
Thumbs Up on Vice TV), when he was still hatching schemes to allow him to get around the world, all the while living free (from legal restraints) and creating art where ever he damn pleased (most commonly in public places of course). This lifestyle eventually landed him in solitary confinement in a Tokyo cell, put a serious strain on his his relationships, and placed him on the path of becoming a born-again Christian (no joke). It's a crazy inspiring story of an artist's struggle to make it on his own terms. Definite must see material! This deluxe double disc set includes a new zine from Choe, plus over 3 hours of bonus footage, recommended.
