CHOR BOOGIE'S BIO
As an artist of modern times, understanding himself and the world through
color, defining the meaning of originality Chor Boogie is one of many masters
that leads this pioneering craft of spray paint in its diverse art form.
Chor Boogie, born Jason Hailey in 1979, was raised in Oceanside California a
small city by the sea with in San Diego county. He was handed a paint brush at
the mere age of five from his kindergarten grade school teacher, started painting
and fell in love with the creative process immediately, telling his teacher "When I
grow up I am going to be an artist." Thus overtime Chor Boogie was exposed to
the spray paint medium along with many other trials and tribulations that
changed his life and formed this learning lesson we live in. As a self made artist
his drive and his passion fueled his study from renaissance artists such as
Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Rembrandt to more modern artists like Klimt, Van
Gogh, Dali, combining a street culture of modern day spray paint "mentors"
such as Phase2, Vulcan, Coma, Sake, Apex, Pose2, and in turn helped guide his
lifestyle into a life it self.
A deep spiritual healing and recovery from addiction nearly a decade ago
transformed his life and has had a major impact in his style of color therapy and
techniques of creative innovativeness. Chor Boogie moved to San Francisco in
2007 and took the leap to pursue a full time career in art. His visionary works
ignites the hearts and minds of the masses world wide. There is no color he
does not use. He creates a wide range of forms pioneering his inverted can
technique which slows down the pressure of the paint and creates dense, rich
tones giving room for more detail on a broad perspective. Chor Boogie's
dynamic range of artistic styles can manifest as soulful, deftly shaded portraits
to color therapy, geometric elements adding up to half hidden faces, and a minds
eye or two to encourage you to see internally and externally.

ARTIST STATEMENT
The intentions behind my art work are to create timeless dynamic moments of
Imagination, Creativity, Originality, Meaning, Style, Self Expression, Audience,
Taste, and the Visual Elements of Line, Light, Composition, Form, Space, and
Color. This is what defines my work and defines me as an individual, and allows
me to still keep an unselfish perspective on "Why do I do this?" Simply because
its a talent I've been blessed with to give to you.
The artistic differences and politics of this spray paint culture, In my work I
bring an understanding of the STREETS are where I come from the STREETS
are my urban canvas the STREETS are where I practiced daily. Contemplating
the influence of life in the streets is there and always will be, but so is realizing
the horizon is much broader and stepping out of my box into new worlds. My
mission is to uplift this spray paint element to a more visionary and fine artist
perspective while maintaining a balance keeping the respect of choice alive.
My artwork is derived from the colors of my soul. It is a therapeutic flow of
colors, shapes, and movements combined in to one. A movement of images that
has adapted to space giving it the significance of belonging to its surface,
coming together as one and forming images of creation. Expressing realms of
colors that give a healing sense and encourages you to wake up.
Through the importance of this movement, my work is just as important as the
movement of the body in creating this work, along with styles, colors, and
techniques. For example the diversity of the inverted can technique (upside
down can technique) that gives life detailing images I paint. To the simple
landscape drips that give the conceptual meaning to "color therapy", as well as
metallic effects that illuminates the imagery from with in outward and pulls you
into the piece.
So forth my work has evolved to national and international levels. Simply that's
where it needs to be exposing and motivating the world creatively educating
those of interest. Yet I am still learning myself for what the future will bring
when it comes to my life's work. I paint from a higher source of purpose and
pure genius in this era using biomorphic forms and caricatures through a color
spectrum of imagery that gives birth to a mature style. I feel my artwork
definitely has an attraction. I also feel its not going to be the answer for
everyone. Objectively, I would like for an individual or audience to feel when
they experience the aesthetic of my work, to be apart of the piece, to become
the piece, to be the piece. This ultimately gives room for your own definition of
the piece itself.
