Oda Jaune: If You Close Your Eyes
Hardcover | 27.05 x 1.85 x 31.72 cm | 172 pp
Roads Publishing | 2014 | 9781909399396
The work of Bulgarian painter Oda Jaune (b.1979) focuses on the biomorphic, the collaged, the abnormal, which ensure that her work continually evades the viewers grasp. Her work plays with the themes of ambivalence, attraction and withdrawal. Internal organs and emotional states blend together in imaginative, unreal, and occasionally gruesome ways, resulting in disturbing yet poetic works. Deformities, masks, and phallic-like growths distort the subject being portrayed and elude the viewers search for clarification. Her high-profile and controversial marriage thrust Oda into the public eye.
In 2012, Jaune won the Pierre Cardin Prize in the Best Painter category and is represented by Galerie Daniel Templon in Paris. From 1998 to 2003, she studied in the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in the class of Jörg Immendorff.
