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.

Not only can they balance new furnishings (and often new construction) by feeling more established, but the pieces emanate a sense of rich history, often leaving you wondering where they were in a previous life. These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
