From the Street to the Cube
Aug.5.2010
I’m thrilled to be involved in this show. Lots of huge names and a great chance to go back San Francisco, if you happen to be in the area, the opening is Saturday, August 7 and I’ll have 9 paintings in that show. Updates and pictures will follow on this site after the opening.
You can RSVP on Facebook here.
Here’s a blurb from the gallery:
From the Street to the Cube, is a group exhibition featuring the work of many prominent artists of the Street Art genre. For its first two exhibitions in its nascent year, 941Geary has explored urban contemporary artists of note working in the styles of abstraction and realism. For this third exhibition, curator Justin Giarla has compiled a group of the world’s most influential artists whose artistic careers were birthed in the street and have transitioned to the more formal exhibition space of the white cube. From the Street to the Cube will bring together a collection of work in a variety of mediums for this cross-cultural survey of street art. Featured artists include Above, Best Ever, Eine, C215, Shepard Fairey, Rene Gagnon, Sergio Garcia, Ernesto Yerena, Greg Gossel, Dan Witz, Casey Gray, Gale Hart, Jesse Hazelip, Hugh Leeman, Blek Le Rat, David Soukup, Georgi Tchkhaidze, D Young V, Philip Lumbang and Miss Van.

I was blessed to be given a chance a year ago to show at WhiteWalls Gallery, and it was a trip that changed the direction of my artwork and left me with endless inspiration.
I am fortunate enough again to be given a chance to show with them at their new gallery: 941 Geary. It’s an amazing space, and I plan on bringing a bunch of new pieces there.
Sadly, I won’t be able to come to the show given the current state of affairs with wrapping up the Ron Howard movie I am working on, but I wanted to leave a couple pictures of the space, and will be posting some new pictures of my new studio space and some teasers along the way as well.

Back from Detroit
Jun.7.2010
I had a wonderful time in Detroit (it does seem like an oxymoron) but the show and time spent there was enjoyable. This being my first solo show, I was pleased with how everything went down. In the past, most of my shows have been with another artist, or within a theme of some kind, but getting the chance to do your own show is always something amazing.
I generated a few new pieces for this show, and am planning making a couple runs of each and listing them on my store.
Kevin has owned and run this gallery for 14 years, and has taken a raw space and turned it into something great. I posted a couple pics below, and will be updated my website and flickr with a few others. I’ll be turning my attention to White Walls in San Francisco for a group show on August 21st. Stay tuned to the website for more info and teasers.
White Walls in August
May.25.2010
Those of you that know me, know that I speak highly of the WhiteWalls Gallery and everything they’ve done for me, and the urban art scene in general. They’ve taken a lot of developing artists and given them the chance they need to get a foot in the door of the art world. I always feel fortunate to be one of those artists, and had an excellent time there a year ago.
I received confirmation on my birthday (awesome present) that I’ll be heading back there for an amazing group show on August 21. C215, Sheppard Fairey, Ernesto Yerena, Jesse Hazelip, Phil Frost, Casey Gray, Greg Gossel, Blek le Rat, Above, Hush, D Young V, are confirmed to be there and I’m sure the list will grow. Every time I get a chance to bring my work out of Chicago I get excited. Needless to say, I’ve already been working on a few pieces for this show, and will be updating this website as I get the chance to show some progress from these works.
The Blackbook Gallery
May.22.2010
I’m proud to announce that in February of 2011, I’ll be having another solo show at the BlackBook Gallery in Denver. You might not have heard of this gallery, because it’s a side project of Tom Horne who was the former director at the very respected Andenken Gallery in Denver. He’s brought some terrific talent and some amazing shows to that city, and I’m honored for the chance to show at this new gallery.
I’m still waiting for some more details, but I can promise that I will be there, and some amazing and bigger works will be coming with me. Stay tuned for dates and more information.
First Solo Show
May.4.2010
There isn’t alot that you can say about Detroit that hasn’t been said already, but there is a great little spot that some locals have carved out and turned into a cool area. I got a chance to meet Kevin of Johanson Charles Gallery in Detroit and we’ve been planning this show for about a year now. His gallery has been there for 13 years and that means something (especially in Detroit).
If you are around that area, you’ll want to come by. It’s the largest collection of work I’ve ever had at one show, and it happens to be my first solo show. This gallery is a total raw-space gallery and it attracts a great crowd for the openings.

Etsy Store Online
Apr.29.2010
Just wanted to say that the Etsy Store is online now with available works for sale. You’ll also find that clicking on the prices of items in the gallery will bring you to the store as well. I think Etsy is a great company and they have a very fair business model for artists, and I am proud to have a store there.
If you aren’t able to get to the shows, the store will have pieces available up there.

Website Launched
Apr.4.2010
Hello,
This is now the home of David Soukup’s artwork and film page. In the coming months, updates from my studio, shows, and friends will start to populate this site.
A special thanks needs to go to Jason Siffring at SurpriseHighway. He single handedly programmed this website after we had a few other lazy programmers work that didn’t measure up. If you are looking for a programmer, he’s your guy. I can honestly say this is the easiest site I’ve ever seen to operate and it will make updating and bringing information to this site much easier.
Feel free to browse the site and check out the art.
