An exhibition catalogue has been created and published on the demand of Galerie Daniel Templon by Communic’Art for Oda Jaune’s second exhibition at the gallery.

The exhibition is held from November 6th until december 24th, 2010.

Under the title Once in a Blue Moon, this exhibition should be a singular encounter : an incantation will lead the spectator to the threshold of an odd fairy tale.

Deformed pin-ups, drowned children, nightmarish bridal couples… her paintings provides us with troubling scenes of intermingled gentleness and violence. They speak of a total lack of inhibition and demand that same self-abandonment from the viewer.

« This variety of tone, from the tragic to the comic, derives no doubt from the fact that Oda Jaune conceives her figures as members of one big family. One ought perhaps to say that her work forms one large conception of the universe, except that she speaks of her figures with such affection that it may be better to keep it simple. Even if, in this case, all is not so simple, neither for them nor for us” writes Judicaël Lavrador, art critic and curator, in the catalogue’s introduction.

Born in the Bulgarian capital Sofia in 1979, Oda Jaune has lived in Paris since 2008. Her work has been exhibited widely, including at the Kunsthalle in Koblenz (2004) and at the Fondazione Mudima in Milan (2007). She also was part of several group exhibitions including at White Space, Beijing (2003), Küppersmühle Museum of Duisburg (2007) and the 11th Mostra Internazionale di Architettura in Venice (2008). The first artist exhibition at Galerie Daniel Templon, entitled May You See Rainbows, was held in 2009 and was accompanied by a catalogue created and published by Communic’Art as well.

The gallery Di Meo entrusted Communic’Art with the creation ansd the edition of a catalogue, on the occasion of David Reimondo’s exhibition held from May 21 to July 17, 2010.

Reimondo’s theme is human beings in their environment. Bread, a religious symbol for the human body, is omnipresent in his work. In his installations, where maps for exemple, are created with slices of bredd and toast, a single toast doesn’t mean anything by itself, but altogether they are a world map. It is a metaphor for human beings ; a single man does not mean anything, but altogether they are humanity, a country, a city… Through his work, the artist questions man’s environment, his identity. How does man want to be perceived ? How does he portray himself ? REIMONDO strives to answer these questions by dipicting our world, the cities we live in, our buildings, our clothes…

“Reimondo’s work is inhabited by a divine presence, or in any case an ancient mythology, a creator who creates man out of his experiments…” wrote Raphael Turcat, editor chief of Technikart in the catalogue’s introduction.

David Reimondo catalogue, created and edited by Communic’Art for the gallery  Di Meo, was released in June 2010.

Texts of Nello and Lydie Di Meo and Raphael Turcat, trilingual English / French / Spanish, hardcover, 135 x 170 cm, 64 pages, price: 20 €, ISBN: 978-2-916277-28-8
