Vanguard Gallery is pleased to announce its participation in Paris Internationale from October 19 to October 24, 2026, presenting a series of works by artist Ella Wang Olsson at Booth B3.02.

Ella Wang Olsson’s multidisciplinary practice investigates the didactic relationship between physical and mental landscapes. Working across painting, writing, video, sound, and performance, they draw connections between Eastern embodied wisdom and Western archetypal psychology, exploring both through intuitive, experiential, and cross-disciplinary forms. Their works often move fluidly between brushstrokes, words, visions, and moving images, creating immersive environments that invite intuitive and experiential forms of learning.

Describing themselves as “a half-Chinese, half-Swedish club kid,” Ella situates club culture and the rave as important points of reference within their practice. Rather than approaching these spaces simply as sites of entertainment, they understand them as contemporary rituals—places of collective gathering, celebration, transmission, and transformation. Their practice moves between tradition and modernity, ambience and chaos, the known and the unknown, drawing on ancient ritual practices such as dance, food, and prayer while remaining grounded in the saturated reality of contemporary life. Through this fluid and cross-disciplinary approach, Ella examines questions of freedom, escape, healing, and the ways individuals navigate contemporary existence.

For Paris Internationale, Ella Wang Olsson brings together a body of work that forms a constellation of interconnected narratives in which dreams, landscapes, rituals, and popular culture become vehicles for examining how individuals navigate contemporary existence. Through a practice that is at once institutive, experimental, and cross-disciplinary, Ella Wang Olsson’s works propose a contemporary club culture and the rave as contemporary sites of ritual, collective learning, celebration, and transformation.
