About the Item
Japanese artist Tomo Mori has lived worldwide after leaving her hometown of Osaka, Japan, including the Caribbean, Latin America, and West Africa. She now lives in New York City. Mori’s works draw their inspiration from the multitude of feelings we have no choice but to go through, confront, and resolve one way or another; emotions like happiness, which results in laughter, sadness, crying, and everything in between.
Curiosity prevails in all of her work. It stems from the complexity of organic structures that make up the human body, a society that is a collective of the people within it, and wonders of nature that comprise millions of cells.
This fascination with the parts that make up the whole is represented in her work by the hundreds and thousands of small painted pieces of canvas that she then pastes onto a large stretched canvas. The color palettes of these mixed media works range from dark blue edges that explode in bursts of light blues and greens in the center to colorful shots of color on one side that fade to neutral matte hues on the other side and neutral matte shades on the edges that form almost a tornado-like surge of small multicolored canvas pieces in the center all overlapping one another, fighting for attention. A relaxing, meditative quality makes you wonder about the meaning of the complex arrangement of the tiny canvas pieces collaged together. Once you know Mori’s inspiration for her art, you know they mean to exude all the minute individual elements forging together, resulting in everything in our world.

Tomo Mori
Born in Osaka, Japan, Tomo Mori received a BFA from Atlanta College of Art, and worked for an international news agency for 11 years after graduation. As a graphic designer she supported top journalists covering news from all over the world 24/7. This experience of seeing the world from a newsroom perspective planted seeds for her missions as an artist today. Mori’s work focuses on the interconnectedness and healing in the space where we experience many conflicts and struggles. As a first-generation immigrant and a mother with inconsistent access to separate studio space, she has learned to integrate her creative life with her cultural heritage and domestic existence, blurring the lines between different aspects of her identity as a woman. Mori has exhibited her works in various galleries, from local community venues to international events like SCOPE Miami. She also has a strong passion for public art installations. She was given diverse commissions from the MTA Arts and Design in 2018 and Columbia University in 2016. She has created a mural for Governors Island as a part of a 2019 summer program. Most recently she completed work on a corporate commission for Swan Reserve Hotel in Orlando, FL.
