Oh de Laval

I paint to taste life twice: in the moment and in retrospection.

— Oh de Laval

The work of Polish-Thai artist Oh de Laval is concerned with human behaviour: the decisions we make, why we make them and how we feel as a result. These decisions are windows into our very personalities. In this spirit, each of de Laval’s paintings acts as a window into her character, her pleasures and her imaginings.

Among Oh de Laval’s varied inspirations are Francis Bacon’s hedonistic lifestyle, sociologist Émile Durkheim’s theory that deviance is necessary to a functioning, successful society, and her love for the French New Wave, Italian cinema, and Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky.

Oh de Laval (b.1990, Warsaw, PL) earned a degree in sociology from the University of Warsaw in 2016 before moving to London to pursue painting. Her recent exhibitions include Galerie Marguo, Paris, FR (2023, solo); Unit London, UK (2021, solo); Galerie Claire Castaud, Paris, FR (2024, group); Allouche Gallery, New York, NY (2024, group); Museum of Sex, New York, NY (2024, group); Bridge Mogura Gallery, Tokyo, JP (2023, group); Galerie Droste, Paris, FR (2022, group); Nassima Landau Art Foundation, Tel Aviv, IL (2022, group); Asia Art Center, Taipei, TW (2021, group); Xiao Foundation, Hong Kong, CN (2021, group); Villa Merkel, Esslingen, DE (2021, group); Galerie Droste, Paris, FR (2020, group), Unit London, UK (2020, group).
