Froelick Gallery is pleased to present recent paintings by Holly Osborne.
Osborne is a modern painter who responds to life by constantly painting both representational and abstract compositions. Born and raised in Oregon's Willamette Valley, Osborne received degrees from Portland State University and is based in Portland, OR. Garden Party is Osborne's third solo show with Froelick Gallery
About this new series Osborne writes,
“Garden party is a celebration of the beauty in nature around us.
Much of the work is from direct observation from various places that I’ve been this past year- walks in my local Portland neighborhood, a distant Sicilian residency, a trip to France.
Some paintings in this collection represent dreams as well as what appears on canvas without looking at anything, what’s called automatic drawing.
In this style - the more “abstract” works, I usually paint until a figure shows itself and then I am satisfied with it.”
EVENTS WITH THE ARTIST:
First Thursday Reception, August 7, 5-8pm.
Exhibition Talk, Saturday, August 9, 11am.
