Sei Shimura is a conceptual mixed media artist and award winning contemporary designer based in Los Angeles, CA. Originating from large metropolitan areas such as Tokyo and New York City, Sei’s art naturally reflects popular culture touching on topics such as capitalism and consumerism.
A graduate of Pratt Institute, Sei has been able to lead conceptual design projects and develop new ideas of automation and aesthetic through various visual mediums using vibrant color with a vast range of mixed material allowing Sei to develop a relationship with his work. He was awarded the top designer award for Tokyo Designers Week and has worked with high level brands like Mattel and the Andy Warhol Foundation.

Sei hopes to create a conversation about the borderline between art and design. Using his designer background and his love for contemporary art, Sei attempts to present a new flare to nostalgic imagery, and a humorous take on social and political issues.
