Jelena Telecki was born in Yugoslavia in 1976 and
currently lives in Australia. She makes paintings,
drawings, and sculptures that investigate the possibilities
of representation and the ways it articulates the politics
of personal and shared narratives. Informal and formal
power dynamics, intimacy and violence, and how these
are recognised and depicted are central to Telecki’s
enquiry. Oil and Water reflects on the first two decades
of Telecki’s practice (2005–2025) through the
development of a new suite of paintings, retracing
the figures and ideas central to past works through
her primary mode of painting.
