Dreamy State: Solo Show of Lotta

25 July - 5 August 2023

Maison Ozmen is excited to present you Lotta’s summer solo show “Dreamy State” at our Parisian space from 25th July to 5th August. We feel honored to collaborate with this talented artist again by bringing 13 new artworks from Lotta to Paris. This new series is composed by 5  paintings on canvas and 8 special works on wooden panel.

 

Lotta has been strongly influenced by western cartoons and Japanese animation she watched in her childhood which leads to her current style of drawing and painting that creates the impression of “nostalgic” that many people can empathize with.

 

Also, Lotta’s obsession with the idea of “sound” has a strong impact on her artworks. The creatures and still-lifes she draws/paints are accurately captured by the moment of their reaction and their movements. This gives a sense of realistic sensation that the “sounds” of these moments in her paintings can be vividly imagined and almost heard by the observer. The characters drawn with delicately modulated lines play lively on the canvas and let the viewer imagine the front and back of the scene cut out by the painting.

 

Within Lotta’s work, there is a strangely satisfying coexistence between the matt(e) smooth textures painted carefully and the genuine curves drawn playfully. This relations between the texture and the curves are highly addictive, and that is one of the remarkable characteristics of her work.
