Our friend, Edwin Ushiro, has been making waves with his second solo exhibit entitled While Tides Guide You Back Home now featured at project:gallery. The direction
of the work is inspired by the artist's feelings of regret and remorse for leaving his native Hawaii. Often wondering how life would have been different had he remained on Maui, Ushiro explores childhood memories while portraying them through dreamlike sequences where he re-writes and re-interprets these moments in his life.

The works are a cohesive series of multimedia paintings in which Ushiro utilizes some truly unique artistic techniques, a fusion of traditional and digital. Ushiro incorporates paint, ink, iron transfers, fabric and other materials into his work in order to achieve the desired effect. This unique combination of emotion and techniques has turned Ushiro into one of the most buzz-worthy emerging artists working today.
You still have time to see his current exhibit before it concludes on August 9th.
You can see additional work from Ushiro as well as his first solo at Gallery Nucleus here.
