By investing such ordinary subjects with added value its focuses attention on the everyday world

Photography

Lin Osborn was awarded a scholarship to Harrow School of Art and went on to study at Surrey Institute of Art and Design, graduating in 2001 with a BA Hons in Fine Art. Then attending Winchester School of Art where she became increasingly interested in photography, and has since been awarded an Associateship by the Royal Photographic Society. Osborn uses a series of small detailed phot

ographs to create her original artworks. The subjects are typically ordinary objects taken from everyday life or the natural world and by repeating a series of images the artist is able to change the original isolated context. ‘En masse' the images have a power and beauty. By focusing on topical themes a spirit of time and place is conveyed. In 'Rainbow' for example, Osborn uses single colour formations, placing together images of trivial household objects. The importance of branding on plastic carrier bags is highlighted, introducing an aspect of commercial and social history that is fast disappearing. In ‘Dandelions' and ’Poppies' the inspiration comes from the subtle differences between apparently identical natural objects. Other works such as ’Doors’ have a historical and architectural interest. Painting

Lin Osborn’s paintings are inspired by the work of Barbara Rae, but by using acrylic paint and collage has since developed her own style. Although the subject Osborn wants to paint is initially photographed she tries not to reproduce the picture but create something completely different but still retaining the spirit of the original. It is the structure of the landscape, one shape against another that she likes. The shapes and textures immediately turn the work into an abstract piece.
