Wink King Moe (B. 2000, Mandalay, Myanmar) is a trained oil painter, whimsical ceramicist, and contemporary dancer. Across all her media, Wink creates soft, busy, curious worlds, using canvas, clay and body to cultivate her boundless playfulness. Made at the Chelsea College of Arts, each of Wink’s works become a dreamlike, journeyed movement born from her cerebral fancies. As a painter, Wink’s landmark piece is a series of five six-foot high panels, each representing the disorientation and whimsy of the unknown. Blues, greens, yellow, oranges, purples dart and dance in pattern and symbiosis to create worlds of unnatural natural forms seeking life beyond the here and now.  As a ceramicist, too, Wink revels in the unknown. Each piece is made with the patisserie-like nerikomi technique, as she repeats trance-like the motions of folding and melding colour, layer, and ornament to deliver faceless mythical sculptures in the image of her otherworldly machinations.
