Artist Statement

Duality is a theme that Jay constantly explores with his art. Being a bilingual Japanese American, there is a duality in thoughts, words and translation. He also receives a lot of his artistic inspiration from his time spent in Japan running around catching bugs and exploring nature, as well as from the Japanese culture itself, and how that differs from his American life. His art is a mix of abstract watercolor and hyper detailed robot technology, constantly questioning the balance between man vs nature, old vs new. He has worked for clients including Sony, Nike and Nissan and has shown in galleries including Mobius, Nucleus and XLarge Gallery.
