Supporting female artists
The Ode To takes our name, and philosophy, from the notion of giving tribute. We always work with artists that we truly admire, both male and female, and strive to find a balance that ensures a creative platform for women. As curators, we bring part of the present moment to light, which gives us the opportunity to counterweight the imbalance that exists in the art world.
Artist Portrait: Fanny Ollas
Fanny Ollas is the person behind the wonderfully imaginative vases in the series 'Emotional Pieces'. She started out as a fashion designer, but has since changed her career to work with ceramics and sculpture. It was a welcome change of focus to a new material that can convey a naive and humoruos aspect with a tendency to evoke emotions and sympathy.
"For me the clay is a metaphor for both the body and the mind and through the clay it is possible for me to translate my inner world into material. I see my sculptures and objects as bodies or characters and to me clay has a lot of personality; it can be both fragile, beautiful, rough and clumsy at the same time."
Fanny Ollas' exclusive collection for The Ode To is called ”Emotional pieces” and it is part of a larger work to try to capture different mental experiences or emotions into functional objects.
The Ode To great aesthetics, strong women, art buffs, dreamy spaces and all other things we treasure.
The Ode To is an online gallery and an effortless way of discovering contemporary art by emerging artists. We careful collect and create limited and one-of-a-kind artworks to reasonable prices, so that you can get something truly special that few others have.
The Ode To means tribute - our tribute is to great artistry and design, and not the least to female artistry. We mainly work with female creatives to counterweight the imbalance that exists also within the design and art world.
The Ode To launched in Spring 2018 by friends Helena Carlberg and Anna Lukins in Stockholm, Sweden.
