Joshua Osburg b.1982

Joshua Osburg is an Oil painter and Draftsman based in the United States Midwest hailing from the City of St. Louis, Missouri.

His work reveals the world around him in a true to life representation and at times, a developed imagination created by environment and experience which elaborates on the connection to an unseen world that reflects the complexities of the human condition.

Educated and self taught in various drawing and painting techniques allows him to expand on ideas through processes that produce a universe to be explored.

His work is in private collections and is written about in global art publications like Surrealism Today, as well as academic papers.
