Hiroshi Nagai is a Japanese artist, prominent in the late 70s to mid 80s for his illustrations of Miami-esque Americana. His work has seen a resurgence in popularity, particularly online in recent years due to the explosion of the vapour-wave genre which aesthetically resonates with the imagery of Nagai's work.
