Oda Skaathun
 (b. 1995 Bergen, Norway)

Skaathun works between Spain and Norway. She received her BFA from the National Academy of the Arts in Oslo in 2019, and her MFA from The Academy of Fine Art (KMD), Bergen, in 2024.

With a multidisciplinary approach spanning installation, performance and drawing, her work is generally characterized by a naive, colorful and playful approach to feminist and existential thematics.

Her ongoing project “Kitchen Table Drawings” consists of a series of works that emerged from the artists engaging with limitations and changes. The work arose from the necessity, at the time, for a format fitting the artist´s role as a new mother working from withing the domestic sphere. “Kitchen Table Drawings” is partly a homage to female artists, and partly a diary entry.
The format is made to fit the kitchen table, and thus, directs us to spaces traditionally occupied by women. In her interiors, she is interested in creating a world free from the male gaze by drawing from her experience as a woman, mother, and human being.
