Dean Chooch Landry is an artist who hails from Harlem, New York City. He works as a photographer, artist and illustrator. His clients include Anna Sui, Cosmopolitan Magazine, The Strokes, and Nickelodeon, to name a few. His trompe l’oeil (“trick the eye”) designs were featured in two major art museum exhibitions. His Anna Sui illustrations can be seen in the book “Fashion & Graphics,” published by Harper Design International, and “My Favorite Dress,” published by ACC Editions.
Landry is, in all respects, an artist. He creates inspired photographs, paintings and illustrations, and is a practicing musician, performing and touring with his band, Tiger Flowers. His vibrant paintings have been exhibited in the U.S. and internationally. His photographs include a large body of Polaroid, medium format and large format filmwork, which span the spectrum from street photography to portraiture to nature to his night in NYC series entitled “I Still Love You.” His photo series of Harlem has been widely exhibited in various galleries and online features. His paintings and Polaroid photos are featured in a release from Magma Books, “Graphic 09.” His paintings, photos and illustrations were also featured in a solo exhibit titled “Choochland” in Osaka, Japan. A book of his illustrations and paintings was published to accompany this exhibit.
His painting and engraving works were displayed in a month-long solo show at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, N.J.
Landry recently had a month-long solo exhibit at Mooney Center Gallery in the College Of New Rochelle entitled “Go About Your Business,” which was accompanied by a book. This featured his Harlem series of photos, paintings and illustrations for the fashion industry. He is also a collaborator and contributor with Colab Projects on Art For A Free Tibet. His photographs were recently featured in a solo show in NYC and Tarrytown, N.Y., and were part of a group show in Madrid, Spain.
