R&F Mo, Blue Eyed Woman with Cat, 2024
Water-based paint on cardboard, 38 × 45cm
R&F Mo’s multi-faceted practice explores connections between the seen, the sensed and the dreamed. Playful and otherworldly, her paintings, works on paper, and theatrical enactments often feature ‘the Woanderer’, a unique, horse-headed creature that navigates imaginary landscapes whilst exploring the notion of identity.
Performance is a constant thread that weaves through Mo’s practice whether the work is studio-based or presented through a character acting in costume. Fantastical figures and beasts inhabit the artist’s vibrant worlds, telling stories that– in Mo’s words - ‘reference alternative beings and multiple dimensions, allowing the unconscious to come into play’.
This vibrant, unique work is part of a group of new, unframed paintings on cardboard which are rich in narrative. Although the red-lipsticked woman of the work’s title looks both left and right, it is her feline friend who gazes directly at the viewer.
Mo studied at City and Guilds, London, graduating in 1980, followed by the Royal College of Art, London, graduating in 1984. An MFA and PhD followed at Central St. Martin’s, London (2004) and University of the Arts, London (2011) respectively. Mo co-authored Performance Drawing (Bloomsbury 2020) and took part in the Performance Drawing 2021 residency at The Centre for Recent Drawing, London. Works have recently been exhibited in A History of Drawing, Camberwell Space (2018), the TBW Drawing prize 2020, and the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition. Oliver Project has been proud to launch several new limited edition prints by the artist at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair since 2021. Mo lives and works in south east London.
