Press Release
Union Pacific is delighted to present ‘Ooh!’, an exhibition of paintings by Oliver Osborne (b. 1985, Edinburgh), which forms the artist’s second solo show with the gallery. Encompassing both figuration and abstraction, Osborne uses repetition, as well as tweaks in composition and chiaroscuro, to excavate new images from sustained, often art historical fixations. In this sense he explores painting’s malleability over time, as well as its relationship to the personal– his subjects range from recognisably appropriated figures of portraiture to his own family. Spanning such variations as silk-screen, monochromatic abstraction and photorealistic oil painting, the artist’s practice is never constrained. And although he may paint a singular subject multiple times, each rendition is never the same.
This exhibition brings together seven new portrait paintings and a text painting made in the last year, alongside a large painting, Niemetzstraße (2014-23), which was first shown...More
