Exhibition opening Jelena Telecki
Oil and Water
Time and location
SAT 8 MAR 2025
4–6PM
TE URU
Please join us to celebrate the opening of Jelena Telecki Oil and Water.
Oil and Water reflects on the first two decades of Jelena Telecki’s practice (2005–2025) through the development of a new suite of paintings, retracing the figures and ideas central to past works. Informal and formal power dynamics, intimacy and violence, and how these are recognised and depicted are central to Telecki’s enquiry.
Born in Yugoslavia, Telecki migrated to Australia in 1999 where she currently lives and works in Gadigal Nura Sydney. The events of this personal history are the foundation for the content and style of her work, which frequently reckons with pathos and immiscibility (hence the title) as departures for exploring broader sociopolitical constructs.
Enjoy catering by the Modern Preserver and beverages from Epic Beer, Everyday Wines and Almighty.
