Description

Godly Love in Couture Capsules: Divine Threads stands as one of the most spiritually charged and conceptually daring works within by Tomomi Mishima.
The canvas immerses the viewer in a dense field of beige pharmaceutical capsules, treated as a total pictorial surface—soft, repetitive, and quietly oppressive. Across this landscape appears the phrase painted as a glowing green neon, radiating a light that feels simultaneously sacred and artificial.

Throughout this series, Mishima depicts young Japanese schoolgirls who have exchanged their traditional uniforms for ultra-luxurious couture silhouettes inspired by high-end fashion houses. This sartorial transformation is central to her practice: it marks the passage from institutional innocence to a constructed identity shaped by desire, aspiration, and social projection.

Here, the green neon functions as a détour­n­ed spiritual proclamation. becomes a luminous mantra suspended between religious belief and contemporary slogan. Inscribed onto capsules, the message suggests a modern faith in which love, inner peace, and even the divine appear consumable—something to be absorbed, regulated, and prescribed.

The female figures, fragmented and partially embedded within the capsules, appear both protected and constrained by this environment. Their restrained elegance contrasts with the clinical setting, revealing a deep tension between transcendence and dependency, spirituality and consumption.

As a major member of the CrazyNoodles studio, founded by Hiro Ando, an iconic figure of the Nippon Neo-Pop movement, Tomomi Mishima occupies a singular position. Where Neo-Pop often emphasizes surface, excess, and immediacy, Mishima introduces an introspective, almost mystical dimension.

With Godly Love in Couture Capsules: Divine Threads  , she delivers a powerful visual statement in which neon, couture, and pharmaceuticals merge into the symbols of a contemporary spirituality—seductive, luminous, and profoundly ambivalent

Tomomi Mishima, Godly Love in Couture Capsules : Divine Threads
Japan  • 1989

Presentation

Tomomi Mishima, was born in 1989. She is a Japanese painter.

Her works deals with the evolution of the Japanese society, she pays special attention to the role of women. Her paintings depict young Japanese women with a trendy look, the artist considers them to illustrate a virtual role. The increasing influence of the Western culture is perceptible, due to the changes which occur in the Japanese society. These tend to affect the youngsters who lose their bearings between traditional education and attractive modern propaganda. The latter imposes the tacit obligation of being trendy in the contemporary world. An artist language which goes beyond borders but is familiar to everyone.

Tomomi Mishima's meaningful work has seduced several galleries around the world. She is mainly known for her exhibitions in Israel, France, USA, Spain, Mexico, China and Singapore.
