Winnie is a young artist in Toronto who is getting a lot of attention recently for her intricate pencil crayon drawings. Suspended within a void, Winnie's portraits lack body and background to explore not only the core notions of beauty but also those experiences of isolation, anxiety, ambivalence, and discomfort within when beauty deviates from social and biological norm.
Born in 1988, Winnie Truong lives and works in Toronto and is a recent graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design’s drawing and painting program Winnie is the recipient of numerous awards, including this year’s W.O.Forsythe award, the 401 Richmond Career Launcher prize, and the BMO 1st! Art Award for Ontario.
Here is a brief interview with Winnie prior to her current show at Show & Tell Gallery.
