Bio: Chor Boogie, a.k.a. Joaquin Lamar Hailey, is a critically acclaimed spray paint artist. His visionary murals and art exhibitions have appeared all over the globe including venues such as the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the Smithsonian, Museum of Public Arts in Baton Rouge, Museum of Art Puerto Rico, LA Art Fair, Scope Art Fair Miami Beach, Torrance Art Museum in Los Angeles, Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego, Museum of Man in San Diego, San Diego Museum of Art, Children’s Museum in San Diego, Syracuse University Museum, and the Samstag and Bathurst Museum in Australia. Miami New Times named his mural as the Best Miami Mural for 2016. In 2017, he was awarded the role of lead artist in an NEA grant with the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art, to mentor a group of under-served high school art students through a professional level mural project.
Chor Boogie is recognized for having achieved a groundbreaking level of technical and emotional virtuosity in the medium of spray paint. He approaches his use of color as a form of therapy and visual medicine. Chor is primarily a self-taught artist, though he was first nurtured by the world of street art.
Through his dynamic range of artistic styles, Chor addresses social issues including environmental preservation, human rights, class struggle, corporate corruption, drug policy reform, and health care.
He has resided in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2007 where he has been an active member of the street art community.
