Coleman
Fine Art in Charleston Offers Works by John Phillip Osborne
Coleman Fine Art
in Charleston, SC, is proud to present an exhibition of new oil
paintings by John Phillip Osborne, from Dec. 3 - 31, 2004. Featured
works will include scenes of Europe and regional Lowcountry coastal
waterways. The artist will paint in and around Charleston for
one week prior to the opening of the exhibit.
Osborne is most notable for his keen handling of light and attention
to atmospheric effects. Using a technique that has been passed
down through the generations, Osborne paints with a transparent
quality that allows the toned canvas to show, and the painting
to glow on its own.
For over thirty years Osborne has been painting nature's most
tranquil moments and trying to "see beyond the obvious."
As a landscape artist and teacher, he prefers to paint outside
directly from nature, in plein-air. Near his home in Ringwood,
NJ, Osborne sets out each day to record the sensations of specific
times of day, the seasons and the changing weather conditions
of the landscape around him.
With timeless subjects, Osborne's paintings have been compared
to the late 19th century artists such as George Inness and Camille
Corot of the Barbizon school. Using the centuries old tradition
of painting on a toned canvas, Osborne uses the slow process of
building up a painting with layers of colored glazes, giving his
works their trademark glow.
