Oshe's artistic journey is deeply rooted in his childhood experiences, particularly influenced by the vivid imagery of a Liverpool Overhead Railway poster that graced his kitchen wall. This poster depicted a scene of urban activity—marked by noise, dirt, and a bustling pace—that was elegantly subdued through a balanced interplay of colors and shapes. This visual composition made the scene's chaos appear orderly and inviting, transforming the Mersey into a surprisingly serene, Mediterranean blue. This transformation intrigued Oshe, sparking a lifelong curiosity about the power of visual art to alter perceptions of reality.In his own artwork, Oshe strives to capture the essence of a place rather than a specific moment in time. He does this by stripping away the complexities and distractions of real life, simplifying his subjects to their most fundamental forms. This reductionist approach is evident in his use of limited colors and the removal of peripheral elements, allowing viewers to focus on the pure essence of his subjects.
Oshe believes that the human brain is adept at filling in the gaps, requiring only a fraction of the visual information to understand the full picture. The challenge lies in determining which details and colors are necessary to convey the intended message.Oshe's creative influences are varied and eclectic. His early fascination with the three-dimensional, tactile nature of Lego and his childhood pastime of painting cart horses by numbers honed his appreciation for form and color.
This, combined with his admiration for the poster art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, has shaped his unique artistic vision, characterized by its luxurious simplicity.When it comes to his logo, Oshe embraces a playful and nostalgic element—fruit stickers. He explains that these small, colorful graphics have always delighted him, embodying a sunny, cheerful vibe that predates the modern sticker craze.
To Oshe, fruit stickers represent a charming blend of heritage and whimsy. His logo, resembling these stickers, serves as a personal badge that accompanies his artwork and related materials. It reflects his playful spirit and offers a nod to the simple pleasures that inspire his creative process. In essence, Oshe's logo is an extension of his artistic identity, merging his love for nostalgic graphics with his contemporary art practice.
