Jenny has been busy setting up a photographic exhibition for Jola Kudela of Yolart.net, which will take place at Projection 216 on Sunday 15th June at 7pm.

Jola Kudela is a photographic artist based in Paris. This is her first exhibition in Shanghai. This is her bio:

“if loneliness has its God, Jola Kudela must be one of His high priests”

Jola Kudela, an international artist born in Poland, has been living and working in Paris, which became the main focal point for her works and international projects coming from India, Luxembourg, Canada or Tunisia. The precursor of neo-photography, active graphic and motion-designer, animated film director, book-illustrator, special visual effects creator for the needs of film and television. She joins the techniques not a long time ago considered as classical with the latest achievements of technology and digital image processing.

The areas to which one can categorize her know no boundaries, what she offers to the contemporary public falls outside any explicit categorization or trends. Her works never stop astonishing the public and with her artistic ideas being an inherent part of ultra-modern image of art she can truly amaze.

Loneliness in a behemoth city as well as confusion characteristic of the relationship between man and woman, the everlasting desire to experience closeness, becoming a unity, which seems to be impossible as we are limited by anxiety seem to be the main subject themes of her works. The present oscillates between constant pain and temporary refuge sought in amusement. This is the world her heroes live in – exposed to us, scared, helpless and yet, invariably heroic. Jola Kudela reminds us of a contemporary shaman leading both the characters she creates and us – the public – sneaking up into some “paper” world, the magic moments where between the sunrise and the sunset of art, every day, at some point, we may perceive both painful beauty and the everlasting truth about human existence. Petrifying and tempting , she can never be indifferent to us.

Her commitment to various dimensions and genres (from the well-known high-budget commercial productions (Tim Burton - NINE), and global projects creating new photography trends (NEO-PHOTO, IDN - Hong Kong), individual graphic art exhibitions (METROPOLIS, Paris), awarded digital cycles , panoramic photo collages (THIS IS MY HOME NOW), to street art dealing with the icons of modern pop culture ( ART MAKES YOU FREE).

Jenny will also be showcasing her new collection and designs from Eva, DK and Emma. We’re looking forward to another great party at Projection 216. Get in touch with Jenny if you want to get an invitation. Jenny has printed some great invitations, which you can see at the top of the post.
