Luke Chueh is best known for his bizarre and often bloody paintings of otherwise adorable bears and bunny rabbits. In his latest series, he reinterprets Dante’s Inferno, casting his cute critters as the eternally damned.
Chueh’s Inferno series, as well as some of his other paintings, are currently on display at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles, where he’s also selling a limited edition sketchbook explaining the concepts behind each painting.
