JOMAD | BEYOND THE SURFACE

What lies behind a painting that appears spontaneous, yet leaves nothing to chance?

JOMAD’s work first captivates through colour. But its true fascination begins when we look more closely at how each composition is constructed.
Born in Martinique, the artist has developed a distinctive visual language in which figurative painting, abstraction and urban art influences converge with an extraordinary sensitivity to colour.

Five essential elements offer a deeper understanding of her artistic universe.

-Colour, used not merely to attract the eye, but to create atmospheres and convey emotions.
-Composition, shaped by her background in architecture and spatial design, bringing structure and balance even to the most exuberant scenes.
-Nature, where flowers and botanical forms take on unexpected dimensions, becoming protagonists rather than simple decorative elements.
-The human figure, which occupies an intimate place within these environments, establishing a dialogue between identity, memory and belonging.
-And visual rhythm, also informed by her experience in mural painting, connecting shapes, contrasts and movement to transform each canvas into a living space.

In JOMAD’s work, beauty does not exclude complexity. Behind every composition lies a reflection on our relationship with our surroundings and with ourselves.

Because a work of art may captivate us at first glance. But understanding how it is constructed allows us to discover its true depth.

At OOA Gallery, we invite you to look beyond the surface and discover what makes her artistic practice truly distinctive.

MÉDÉRIC TURAY | BEYOND THE SURFACE

Some artists create work that is instantly recognisable. Understanding it, however, requires looking beyond the surface.

In Médéric Turay’s universe, symbols carry meaning, materials hold memory, and figures establish a dialogue between individual experience and collective history.
From his early urban influences to his current sculptural explorations, the Ivorian artist has spent over two decades developing a distinctive visual language that has gained recognition through international exhibitions and collections.

But what truly lies behind these powerful compositions, enigmatic figures, and extraordinarily layered surfaces?

At OOA Gallery, we invite you to explore five perspectives that offer a deeper understanding of his artistic practice.
An invitation to discover not only what we see, but also what makes his work truly distinctive.

Coming soon to AKAA Paris 2026.

URBAN MARKETS | The Art of Being Together.

Life is made of encounters. Spontaneous conversations, families coming together, bustling markets, and those little everyday moments that turn into lasting memories.
Because sharing is also a way of celebrating life.

This November, OOA GALLERY is delighted to present Cameroonian artist AJARB Bernard Ategwa, one of the featured artists in our upcoming exhibition URBAN MARKETS, alongside Ghanaian artist Larry Otoo.

Through a vibrant visual language filled with colour, energy, and spontaneity, AJARB invites us to rediscover the beauty of everyday life. His urban scenes celebrate togetherness, human connections, and the joy of living that transforms ordinary spaces into extraordinary places.

And as we approach a season that invites us to gather, give thanks, and share, we want to celebrate what truly brings us together.

Because art, just like life, becomes even more meaningful when shared.

URBAN MARKETS
7 November – 19 December 2026
OOA GALLERY · Sitges, Barcelona

Stay tuned as we reveal more about an exhibition that promises to bring colour, stories, and life to our gallery.

ART ALSO KNOWS HOW TO SMILE AT THE WORLD.

Some smiles are not drawn on faces. They emerge through colours, shapes, and that extraordinary ability to see life differently.

In JOMAD’s artistic universe, the naïve is not about innocence, but rather a creative freedom that reconnects us with something we, as adults, too often forget: the joy of being amazed by the everyday.

Her works remind us that sophistication does not always require solemnity, and that depth can also be expressed through spontaneity, imagination, and an explosion of colour.
Because, just like life, art does not need to be perfect to be extraordinary. It needs to move us, awaken our curiosity, and remind us of what truly matters.

JOMAD returns once again to AKAA Paris with OOA GALLERY, bringing a pictorial universe where creativity smiles at the world and every glance reveals a new story.

LARRY OTOO — A FRESH WAY OF SEEING —

There are artists who do not need to break with art in order to renew it.

They simply need to make us want to look again.
In the work of Larry Otoo, colour, gesture and composition seem to move with an almost immediate sense of freedom. Yet behind that freshness lies technique, experience and a deeply personal way of interpreting everyday life.

And this is also where the role of the collector begins.
Collecting is not simply about recognising a name or following a trend. It also requires sensitivity, curiosity and good taste: the ability to pause before a work and perceive what may not reveal itself at first glance.

To understand the strength of a brushstroke.
The intelligence of a composition.
The unexpected harmony of certain colours.
The creativity of an artist capable of transforming a scene into an experience.

Because good taste is not about choosing what is obvious.
It is about knowing how to recognise what is exceptional.

At OOA GALLERY, we believe precisely in this way of approaching art: guiding collectors towards works with identity, technique and a distinctive voice; artists whose practice continues to evolve and enrich the way we see.

Larry Otoo reminds us that art can also be luminous, spontaneous and deeply sophisticated.

And perhaps collecting begins exactly there:
when a work makes us look again.

Alex Rocca: a trajectory in constant expansion.

From Brazil to the international contemporary art scene, Alex Rocca has developed a distinctive textile language where material, memory and identity converge.

His work has been presented repeatedly at SP-Arte, most recently at ArtRio 2026, as well as at the Museu Oscar Niemeyer, Farol Santander, WG Galeria, Galeria Tato and The House of Arts in Miami, among other significant exhibitions and institutions.

Now represented by OOA Gallery, his practice continues to expand internationally, connecting Brazilian contemporary textile art with new audiences, collectors and institutions.

ART IS NOT MEANT TO STAND STILL.

In Alex Rocca’s work, thread ceases to be merely thread.
Fiber moves beyond surface.
Textile leaves the decorative realm behind to become structure, body, memory and presence.
Rocca does not simply weave forms: he constructs spaces where time itself seems to have been held within the material.

His artistic evolution is also an expansion. Shaped by a background in cinema, scenography and spatial design, his practice has gradually developed into an increasingly sculptural language, one in which the artwork no longer depends on the wall to exist: it occupies space, falls, carries weight, casts shadows, transforms its surroundings and asks the viewer to engage with it physically.

His research enters into dialogue with Bantu, Yoruba and Afro-Brazilian cosmologies, not through literal representation, but through transformation. Rocca draws on memory, transmitted knowledge and ancestral gestures, bringing them into a profoundly contemporary visual language.

It can remember while continuing to move forward.
It can transform an inherited technique into a contemporary question.
Alex Rocca turns matter into living memory.
And memory into a form of future.

BOB-NOSA - THE COURAGE TO CONFRONT VIOLENCE.

On 2 October, the International Day of Non-Violence invites us to consider not only how violence shapes societies, but also how ART can confront it.

Bob-Nosa’s practice is rooted in observation, tension and human experience. Through expressive figures, bold colour and an unmistakable visual language, his works explore injustice, vulnerability, resistance and the enduring need for dignity.

His paintings do not provide easy answers. They create a space in which we are asked to look more closely, to question what we accept, and to recognise the human realities behind conflict and inequality.

Over the years, Bob-Nosa’s uncompromising practice has gained international visibility, reaching collectors and audiences far beyond Nigeria through museum exhibitions, galleries and international art fairs. His work demonstrates how a deeply rooted artistic voice can transcend geography and speak to universal questions of freedom, justice and human dignity.

For OOA GALLERY, Bob-Nosa represents the capacity of contemporary art to remain visually powerful while carrying a deeper social consciousness.
Today, we highlight an artist whose work reminds us that awareness can also be a form of resistance.
