Tomo Mori
Kimono Soul (green), Abstract Painting

2019

About the Item

Artist Comments
Vintage kimono fabrics found in Japan carefully cut and arranged into a new composition. "The process gives new life to old and no longer used things," says Tomo. Part of her signature series of collage work created with a technique she calls 'canvas mosaic.' Developed over the last ten years, Tomo cuts fabric and then meticulously adheres each piece to stretched canvas. She draws inspiration from traditional mosaic making.


About the Artist
Tomo Mori finds herself drawn to images that are melting, dripping, streaming and flowing. Her process is extremely meticulous yet spontaneous in its execution, allowing natural instinct to guide the creativity and fluidity of the work. Tomo's signature technique is collage made of canvas on canvas, a style that adds depth and dimension to her work. Born in Osaka, Japan, her family moved to Tokyo when she was four, where she recalls happy family memories under the cherry blossoms. She is now based in New York, and when she's not making art, Tomo likes spending time with her family and dancing.

  • Giselle, Original Painting
    By Ryan Pickart
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Part of Ryan's long-running series of portraits done in charcoal and oil paint on gold washed paper. Ryan enjoys pairing the fluidity and transparency of oil paint with the substance of charcoal. "Much like the ballet of the same name, "Giselle" combines dramatic patterns with stoic expression," says Ryan. The figure wears an abstract dress of dripping circles, her hair in modernist angles. She looks intensely at the viewer, her slender frame elongated by her strong pose.
