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.
