Nadia odlum

Nadia Odlum is a multidisciplinary artist driven by a fascination with urban environments. They create playful and immersive works that explore personal and collective experiences of urban life, and that generate spaces for social engagement and interaction.

Their methods are broad, with projects spanning painting, drawing, artists’ books, sculpture, performance collaborations, public artworks and pedagogical projects. The works are united by an abstract, geometric visual language that draws inspiration from the patterns and forms of the built environment.

Often working site specifically, and with recycled or reclaimed urban materials, Odlum’s works mirror and abstract familiar components of city environments to form new spatial and material relationships. With characteristic playfulness, Odlum deploys boundless and queer curiosity to create new interactions and perceptions within urban space.

Odlum’s work has been shown in galleries and public spaces across Australia and internationally. This includes presentations at the Art Gallery of NSW, Home of the Arts (HOTA) and MANA Contemporary USA, as well as public art commissions for Urban Art Projects and Kaldor Public Art Projects.
