Oda Jaune

The artist

Born in 1979 in Sofia, Bulgaria, Oda Jaune lives and works in London. The artist uses her work to portray a tormented yet deeply poetical world. In it, images that are tender, naive and violent, occasionally erotic and funny, are mingled together as Jaune continues her frank exploration of a subconscious freed from convention. Her paintings are unsettling, putting the viewer in a position where abandon is the only option and inhibition is futile.

GROUP SHOW – UNCANNY DEPTHS  

Oda Jaune - Uncanny depths
MAMO, Cité Radieuse de Marseille
Through June 12, 2022
 

“Uncanny depths” proposes a historical walk and a reflection on time, around the notion of antiquity value theorized by Alois Riegl. Taking place in the MAMO, the former gymnasium of Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse, conceived as an inverted ship’s hull, the exhibition takes the form of a baroque, undulating and archaeological fantasy, a resurgence of the myth of Atlantis and of the most mysterious and disturbing incarnations of the forces of time.

HEART – ROMANTICISM IN CONTEMPORARY ART

Musée de la Vie romantique, Paris, France
February 14 - July 12, 2020

Le Musée de la Vie romantique presents a selection of around 40 art works by thirty contemporary artists on the representation of heart as an expression of the feeling of love, echoing one of the main themes of Romanticism.
This exhibition aims to open the cultural program of the museum beyond the nineteenth century by exploring the continuation of Romanticism in contemporary art, in resonance with the museum’s collections. The heart as an organ, motif and symbol is presented here through various techniques: painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, neon and photography.
In addition to the emblematic figures of Niki de Saint Phalle, Jim Dine, Annette Messager, Sophie Calle, Pierre and Gilles, Jean-Michel Othoniel and Françoise Pétrovitch, visitors will be able to discover about twenty other artists in this exhibition.
