Winnie Truong

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.
