Tōshee’s mixed media work features carving and layering techniques inspired by traditional Japanese woodblock printing, Sumi-e, cel animation, and the constantly evolving art of the North American streetscape.
A native of New York City and first-generation American born to Latin American parents, Tōshee studied design at Harvard under the late, great Toshihiro Katayama, internationally acclaimed graphic designer, sculptor, and painter. His artist name is in fact an homage to his teacher, who passed away in January 2013.
In his life outside of art, Tōshee has worked as a university teaching fellow, video game producer, multimedia consultant, primetime network sitcom writer, and Internet music company manager.
Tōshee has been active in the Los Angeles and Miami contemporary art world since 2013. He had a solo show at Gabba Gallery in March 2016. His work has been shown in group exhibitions at Gabba Gallery, Stone Malone Gallery, Prohibition Gallery, The Hive, and with long-standing LA pop-up show Cannibal Flower.
