Hiroshiʻs Background
Tagami captured the energy of the islands with a variety of vibrant, lively paintings, all created in heavy oil paint applied by a pallet knife. “It’s almost like sculpting with paint,” said Powell, who learned the technique from Tagami. “He could paint everything — portraits, abstracts, impressionistic things, landscapes. He could do everything. It was amazing.” His life’s work of more than 7,000 paintings was displayed at the Tagami and Powell Art Gallery and Gardens, a Kahaluu estate he first established with Richard Hart and later ran with Powell. His works were also displayed at local establishments such as C.S. Wo and Sons, in private collections and at galleries around the world.
