A native of Argentina who currently lives in Miami, Tao Rey is a critically acclaimed emerging artist. His work, which refers to urban life, seeks to subvert the hold of government and corporations on our daily life.

One of the youngest in the group of artists acquired, Tao Rey is an emerging talent on the international scene. In articles about Rey, a word used very often is "hot."

The work acquired by The Latino Museum, eye love you, is central to the artistic practice of Rey. Its allusion to his diaristic drawings and its eference to graffiti make it an important subject in his art.

In his “Artist’s Statement” Rey writes: "Tao Rey's work breaks down the hegemonic hold of corporate/governmental style over the urban environment and the situations of daily life. As a form of aesthetic sabotage, it interrupts the pleasant, efficient uniformity of "planned" urban space and predictable urban living. As an example graffiti survives as a creative playful response to a pre-fabricated culture, a response which subverts legal and political boundaries as well as the notion of public and private property. Graffiti exists as a public art outside the control of public officials, as alternative language outside the corporate style."

Rey's work has been featured in Art Basel Miami Beach, at the Bass Museum in Miami, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Washington D.C. and Wooster Projects in New York, among other venues.

His art has already been noted in Art in America, Art Nexus, The New York Times, and The Miami Herald.
