PLAYGROUND

 

We introduce you to our newest concept PLAYGROUND at OODE. By creating a playful carpet on our gallery floor, we created an actual playground for art and design. The public can play around with the graphic elements, the furniture and even the art on the walls. A constant changing environment for these pieces, is even for us as a gallery inspiring. New, unexpected combinations are made. Artworks go horizontal, furniture sometimes vertical. We want to show the public that our art is not static. That even at home things can be changed once in a while and perhaps can be placed differently to change our perception and even the relationship we have with our personal items…

PASTY PURPLE BY LAURA SCHERINGA

 

Laura Scheringa (1986, Geleen) is a visual artist. Graduated at the ABKMaastricht in 2008 and at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 2011. Laura admires landscapes. Rock formations is one of Laura Scheringa’s first art collection. Rock Formations as a representation of time: layers of history that become visible. A timelapse of earth. In her latest collection (pasty purple) the textures and colours are more close up. Typical in this collection is the use of neon as a background.

 

NEW ARRIVALS

 

We have rescued these lost artpieces from The Foundation of Disinherited goods. We call them orphaned art. For the people that don’t know the background of OODE: we try to rescue art from closed museums, art institutions: orphaned art. You can visit OODE or look online and adopt a piece of art so they get the wall they deserve.

 

ART COLLECTION CAPSULE

We present you the first pieces of our newest art collection CAPSULE. This collection is an OODE original.
Outlines of boxes, buildings, shifting patterns and shapes. Made out of textured cardboard – these artworks are always changing depending on the surrounding or point of view.

 

CHEST OF DRAWERS AT OODE

We at OODE have more art than most people think. In the shop is a chest of drawers full of art. Most of the art in this drawer is orphaned art.
It’s in the drawer because the art isn’t framed. As a result, the art does not get the attention it deserves.

These art pieces are still looking for a new owner. Maybe there’s something in there for you.

WAVE BY NAOMI REMIJN

 

Naomi Remijn moves with her craft work between art and design. With Zeeland roots and a predilection for textiles, work is made based on Zeeland traditional costumes. She admires the old textile technique and handicraft, because it takes a lot of time and effort.

 

MOOS BY JENS VAN DEURSEN

 

Jens van Deursen is a Dutch furniture designer. This seating furniture is made of polyester foam and realized by minimizing the waste produced by excess material of which it is composed.

A comfortable and fun piece of design that can be coated in any color upon request, from the bright yellow of a summer sun to the blue of the vast sea.

 

Moos is obtained from a block of polyester foam using 2D cutting techniques with minimal material loss. Self-supporting due to the high density of the foam. This makes Moos a graphic and comfortable piece of furniture for any environment.

TITIA EX

We have a very interesting orphaned collection of silkscreen on glass by Titia Ex. Glass panels, with layers from black, blue to bright yellow. Pictures with windows, that show or block what is behind. Reflection, paint and movement that are part of the composition, sometimes showing more sometimes just a little bit of transparancy.
Titia Ex is a visual artist based in Amsterdam. Ex studied film and photography at the Rijksakademie (1988) in Amsterdam and was artist in residence (1989) at the video department of the Musashino Art University in Tokyo.
Light art
She started to work with light as a choreographer light, form, time and atmosphere in theaters. She worked together with dancers, actors and musicians. At the post academic art institute the Rijksakademie, she created her first installations in which light became of great value as an autonomous visual element.

COR VAN WEELE (1918-1989)

At OODE we present an orphaned collection by Dutch photographer Cor van Weele (1918-1989).

Van Weele worked during the war several years for photographers Nell Herbert (Haarlem), Godfried de Groot (Amsterdam) and Willy Schurman (The Hague). During the war he ended up in camp Muehlberg/Elbe and illegally photographed the hardships of his fellow sufferers. He settled in Amsterdam after the war and developed into an excellent portrait photographer until the mid-1950s. Many of his glass negatives from this period have survived. Gradually he shifted his field of activity to commissioned and documentary photography. He was an inspired teacher at the Film Academy (1960s) and the Rietveld Academy (1970s). The works of OODE show a variety of graphic works, portraits, landscapes and sceneries. All with quite harsh contrasts and showing different aspects of moments in life he encountered.

COEN KAAYK // 1947 – 2014

 

The architecture of light and color.

Brightly colored gems, capturing the colors of sunshine. Their shapes reduced to rudimental forms of kubes, pyramids or multi-faceted diamonds. Colors stacked, placed next to each-other like a pointillist painting. The work of Coen Kaayk (1947-2014) is an ode to color. Playful, colorful and bursting with joy.

Kaayk dedicated his career to investigate the optical relationship between shape, color and light. In a span of 40 years Kaayk created an impressive oeuvre of hundreds of autonomous sculptures, ranging from tiny table objects to room filling landscapes. Every piece, no matter the scale, is treated with the same intense urge to investigate the optical relations between shape, color and light. His work can be seen as a constant search to master the translucent material and and continuous quest to refine the relationship between material, shape, color and light.

Kaayks Magnus opus is De bouwplaats (2014) an impressive room filling installations of acrylic objects. He created an urban landscape, reminiscent  of modernist architecture. He used industrially produced acrylic resin to create an imaginative city of light and color. The city of Tiel has bought the work and installed it in one of its cultural centres.

Gallery OODE honoured to present a curated selection of 10 small objects by this interesting artist. Every piece is unique in shape, color and composition. They make are a great addition to any interior and art collection.
