Tomo Mori

Lullabies, Abstract Painting

2021

Artist Comments
"This piece is about the universal feeling of comfort to sing lullabies and memories of childhood," shares artist Tomo Mori. "I make tiles with fabrics, then utilize a traditional mosaic technique with acrylic paint. The image has layers and slight three-dimensionality to create an interesting texture." In the middle, a swan flaps its wings with colorful squares in various patterns burst outward in a playful circular shape.

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.
