Yoskay Yamamoto: Picking Up Where We Left Off

September 13, 2011 By Wendy Campbell

Japanese born artist Yoskay Yamamoto, opened a new solo exhibition at LeBasse Projects in Culver City, California.  Picking Up Where We Left Off references the time Yamamoto was able to spend with his family earlier this year after more than an eight year span since seeing his brother. Yamamoto was relieved that they were all able to reconnect as if no time had passed. This reconnection with family has inspired Yamamoto’s new paintings and sculptural works.

Born and raised in Toba, Japan, Yamamoto moved to the United States at the age of 15.  A self-taught illustrator, Yamamoto’s  fuses the  blends pop iconic characters from his adopted western home with traditional and mythical Japanese elements, balancing his Asian heritage with urban pop art.

Picking Up Where We Left Off runs through October 1, 2011. To see more, visit LeBasse Projects or Yoskay.com.

Yoskay Yamamoto: Illustration

September 11, 2010 By Wendy Campbell

Born and raised in Toba, Japan, Yoskay Yamamoto moved to the United States at the age of 15. A self-trained illustrator, Yamamoto’s artistic tastes expanded as he fell in love with the urban culture of the West coast. Fusing the two different cultural backgrounds together into his work, Yamamoto nostalgically blends pop iconic characters from his new Western home with traditional and mythical Japanese elements, balancing his Asian heritage with urban pop art. (from Roq La Rue)

Yamamoto currently has a show at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle, Washington.
