The diptych We could be Friends shows a game where the body is multiplied to play with itself. By accumulating deformations and mirror effects both real and illusionary, it blends abstraction and figuration, neutral and sharp colours, tangible and mental spaces, thus offering a playful take on the body and how it interacts with the world and reality. The two pictures composing the diptych immortalise a moment where the world seems frozen and suggest the necessity to rethink motion, delimitations, and interactions to open oneself to the other – whether this other is real or imaginary.
Born in 1993 in London, United Kingdom
After studies at the Duperré School in Paris and at Central St Martins in London, Winnie Mo Rielly enrolled at the Beaux-Arts de Paris where she lives and works. There, she was awarded the Multimedia Prize. She is also the laureate of Chaumet’s Nature and Architecture Prize (2019) and she presented her work in several group exhibitions in France and in England. She did a performance at the Camden Art Center of London. Her work mixes sculpture, photography, and performance. Focusing on the complexities of the spaces we live in, she observes how bodies pile up in confined spaces. It is from an “awkward proximity”, to quote the words of the artist, that the feeling of intimacy of her installations comes from. Her“Leaving Room” exhibition, an installation with a soundtrack, was turned into an artist’s book.
