Isabella Osborne - BA (Hons) Fine Art
Isabella works with oil paint in a sculptural, contour-led way, using light and shadow to carve out form, figure, and presence. Her monochromatic, tonal colour palettes and softened edges create subtle yet charged tensions – a dialogue unfolding in the space in-between. Rooted in philosophical contexts, her work explores states of being and the nature of existence, where figures are held in moments of suspension and uncertainty. Each painting breathes within its own stillness, a space where presence settles, unspoken and unresolved. The paintings hold a perceptible paradox – intimate yet distant, known yet unknown. Each work becomes a space where the viewer and subject meet, where a quiet relationship between familiarity and ambiguity gently coexists.
