About

Studio Member since 2013

Guy was born in 1990 in Tokyo, Japan and moved to Chicago as a child. Outside of his work as a painter, Guy is an avid runner. He takes breaks from his practice to participate in several marathons each year in cities across the US.

Guy has an incredible talent for photorealism and is gifted with a keen sense of visual perception. Where other artists may be intimidated by the detail or scope of a reference photograph, Guy has the ability to break his subject down to the key qualities that convey depth, texture, and character. He skillfully builds up layers over time, yielding a rich and varied surface.

Guy enjoys painting images of landscapes and still lives, as well as working on commissioned pet portraits. “I’m a painter. I like to make art. I look at photographs, get ideas. I look at all the colors.”
