David Osbaldeston:  A Pastiche of Different Techniques

Exhibition Runs: 5th April - 25th May, 2024
Preview: 6-8pm, Thursday 4th April

Glasgow Print Studio is delighted to present A Pastiche of Different Techniques, an exhibition of new work by David Osbaldeston featuring a series of works evolved from his recent exhibition at the independent art-space Moon Grove in Manchester in 2023.

 

The artist is showing two distinct bodies of work featuring new large-scale etchings alongside sequences of screenprints on linen and paper.

  

Responding to the legacies of conceptualism and the artist as publisher, David draws upon properties of objecthood and materiality using methods of collage as a medium for transmission to activate the spatial characteristics between print and sculpture.

For this exhibition, Osbaldeston has extended his working practice into new directions of production on a scale not seen since his first critically acclaimed solo exhibition Your Answer is Mine at Matt’s Gallery which featured a monumental intaglio print pasted to a 5 x 3 metre billboard structure.


This new work, produced with the assistance of Glasgow Print Studio's Alistair Gow, includes ARTFORUM CAR SHARE (cut up the present and the future bleeds out), a large-scale multi-panelled, multi-layered etching of drawn and painted elements which originate from the simple confrontation between fast and slow forms of printed media and the physical embodiment of ideas in travel.

 

We will also be showing THE INCOMPATIBLES, a new series of half-tone screen prints on linen and paper which depict spatial arrangements of painted abstract forms which the artist describes as ‘word props’ presented as diptychs in various conflicts of interest and power relations.

Keyline - Print Circle

Tuesday 19th March 6-7:30pm
Glasgow Print Studio First Floor Gallery

Please join us on Tuesday 19th March 6-7:30pm for Print Circle - an ongoing series of events that bring people together in our Gallery to think about and look at prints.

 

This month’s Print Circle is centred around our current exhibition Keyline as it enters it’s final two weeks in the gallery. Focussing on screenprint as a medium and some of the personal histories, portraits and notions of home that underpin the works, there will also be an opportunity to join some of the artists from the exhibition, have a cup of tea and to hear artist Leena Nammari speak about and show her screenprinted artist books. Leena’s Palestinian heritage and background form the basis to all her work, subtly loaded with the politics of the many, but always reflecting the personal.

 

The event will take place in the GPS first floor gallery, accessible using the lift in the foyer space. Some seating will be provided.

 

This event is free but ticketed, please book using this link.
