Step Up Fade Cut
By Ray Young Chu
Published Issue 131, November 2024
Ray Young Chu’s background starts with his grandfather being taken away by North Korean soldiers for being a preacher when his dad was six. They never saw him since. This back history has contributed to Ray’s continuous search for meaning and purpose behind his subject matter and art.
Check out Ray’s last Birdy install, Pros and Cons, mixed-media on wood (2016), the companion art to Brian Polk’s, Just So You Know, This Letter Would Have Been Tear-stained If It Wasn’t Written Digitally (And Other Fun Facts About How Sad My Life Is), or head to our Explore section to see more of his past published works.
