R&F Mo, Sycamore Gap, 2024
Water-based paint and oil paint on canvas, 138 x 138cm
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 landscapes whilst exploring the notion of identity.
This fantastical large-scale painting is inspired by the artist’s childhood memories of picnics on Hadrian’s wall. ‘I loved the old smooth stones and green moss, though I had no idea what the wall stood for, nor that decades later the first African settlement in the UK would be identified nearby; Moorish soldiers guarding the Roman wall against the marauding Scots. Where were the soldiers when the chainsaw came and sliced through the Sycamore? I like to imagine a platoon of furious Moorish spectres circling the senseless vandal, and scaring him witless.’
