art of the day: “Untitled” by David R. Choquette

March 17, 2008

Today’s piece is from Montral based tattooist David R. Choquette. Most of his paintings and drawings are quite small, but they are packed with details. From his bio on the Beinart site, it says that he obsesses over every square inch. I can believe that, if you look close at his work there is amazing texture and subtle details. For instance, the skin in this piece looks like you can see the blue tint of blood beneath the flesh.

His work has that same kind of haunting feel and vibe that Chet Zar, Karl Persson & even Zdzislaw Beksinski has. David is also one of the artists that will be showing work at the Attack of the B Movie show. I’ve been able to see the piece that will be in the show and it looks amazing. Just to give a teaser, the piece David is showing is based on “Killer Klowns From Outer Space”.
