A leader of the cross-cultural craft resurgence, Japan-based artist Toyoharu Kii creates his intricate mosaics with hand-cut Italian marble and smalti, Venetian glass made by the same Italian family for over 400 years. Using traditional Italian techniques, Kii’s art is nonetheless modern. Monochromatic, abstract, and highly textured, his work highlights the involved and technical art of mosaic making. In this evocative mosaic entitled "Trace of Act," Kii creates disruptive order in the midst of a turbulent field of tessera, tracing the viewer's eye along clean lines drawn by colliding patterns.

Toyoharu Kii’s work has been exhibited at the Chartres Biennale, and the renowned artist has been internationally recognized, including at the prestigious Rencontres Internationales de Mosaique.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
