Mo Mouhie (Toronto, ON)

December 2, 2024 Red Head Gallery

I love to lay in bed and daydream, 2024. Oil on canvas, 48 x 48 in.

Bio

Mo Mouhie, a self-taught multidisciplinary artist born in 1991 in the vibrant heart of Casablanca, embarked on his artistic journey at the age of six exploring gouache, watercolour, charcoal, and pastel through reproducing family photos. 

In Mo's world, a rich tapestry of dualities unfolds—the delicate interplay between his former life as a trader and his deep-seated connection to art and poetry. His work encapsulates the tug-of-war between his longing for expansive horizons and the dislocation felt with each new chapter, threading a line that spans Europe, Morocco, and the United States.

As his practice evolved through various styles, he returned to the allure of figurative painting, delving into themes of identity and space. In these works, he immortalizes subjects engaged in the intimate rhythm of daily life, transforming fleeting moments into lasting impressions. 

Now residing and working in Toronto, Canada, Mo continues to push the boundaries of his creativity, crafting visual poetry that resonates with the essence of human experience.

Artist Statement

In this series of paintings, I explore the quiet complexity of solitude and self-reflection, capturing a single figure in intimate, sparse interiors. Through carefully chosen postures and subdued, earthy tones, the works delve into the emotional layers of solitude, revealing moments of introspection, vulnerability, and resilience.

In each painting, the female figure stands in different stances that convey a sense of inward focus. The presence of organic details adds life to the otherwise minimalistic spaces, softening the starkness of the rooms and imbuing each scene with warmth and intimacy. Ultimately this series of paintings captures the beauty in stillness, celebrating the layered experience of solitude and the quiet power of self-discovery.

The series is titled Bedroom Confidentials.

The settings are inspired from my personal environment. All the paintings are made using oil paint.
