Winnie Truong的立體作品結合了傳統繪畫與剪紙拼貼，開創出一種獨特的身份與想像視角 ── 一位來自異域的女性自然主義者。這些細緻入微又融合了植物解剖特徵的形態，彷彿獲得了自主權、美感、性感及目的性。被扭曲的形象與環境相互交織，令觀者難以分辨肢體與葉片的邊界。藝術家藉此探討「形象」與「景觀」之間的遊戲式和諧與衝突，並呈現自然界與超自然界交錯時的張力，從而提供無限的可能性，促使個體在有限的身份與經歷中，進行更深刻的自我反思。
Winnie Truong, born in 1988 in Toronto, Canada, received her BFA from OCAD University in 2010 and was awarded the Chalmers Arts Fellowship in 2017. Her work primarily explores themes of identity, feminism, and fantasy through drawing and collage, while also venturing into digital art, animation, and public art projects with a strong focus on community engagement. Her works have been exhibited across Canada, the US, and Europe. Her work can be found in private collections, including the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Bank of Denmark, and the RBC Art Collection. She currently lives and works in Toronto.
Truong's sculptural works blend traditional drawing with cut paper collage, establishing a distinctive perspective of identity and imagination－a feminist naturalist from another realm. These hybrid botanical/anatomical forms, delicately crafted, are given their own notions of agency, beauty, sensuality, and purpose. The distorted figures blend seamlessly with their environments, challenging viewers to discern where limbs end and leaves begin. Through her art, Truong explores the harmony, conflict, and play between “figures” and “landscapes,” highlighting the tension when the natural world intersects the supernatural, thus offering endless possibilities for deeper introspection within one's limited identities and experiences.
