Sanctuary143 is proud to support Tocayo and DJ Will Redd (Room 01 of CONSPIRE) in their upcoming event with Chris Kepler at Fowler’s shop in Solana Beach Friday, March 27th. See you there!
Mark your calendar for Thursday — the Sezio crew’s teaming up with Jedidiah Clothing to bring us Hacer, a night of beer, tacos, and art by Tocayo at the amazing Luce Loft in East Village. Hope to see you there!
After busting out some incredible work for Reinventing the Wheel in ’08 (shown above), we’re thrilled to have Encinitas-based artist Tocayo in our next event, Conspire. This upcoming event is especially fitting for Tocayo as his work is often directly influenced by music. Surrounded by a musical family while growing up in Miami, Tocayo’s passion for this art continues today in both his subject matter and his frequent visits to legendary local clubs The Belly Up and the Casbah.
The painting above depicting the Buena Vista Social Club is one of his many pieces that pay tribute to jazz. Collaborating with local DJ and fellow jazz-enthusiast Will Redd, Tocayo will be displaying several other jazz-inspired pieces many of which feature artists from the Blue Note label.
While you wait for Jan. 17 to to see Tocayo’s work at Conspire, head to South Park where his art graces the walls of El Camino.
See some of his other paintings here, plus design and surfboard art here.
