Extinction Extension Osch aka Otto Schade solo show

Osch, real name Otto Schade, the half-Chilean half-German London based street artist, whose original "ribbon" and "sunset" styles you are bound to have seen up on a wall near you, graces Westbank this summer with a solo exhibition of new works.

Osch enjoys a huge following around the world, especially Sweden, Norway, Germany, UK and, as of late, the USA.
He will be releasing his Anonymosch print during the show. There will be only 10 hand-finished silver mask and ball prints and 15 hand-finished white mask and ball prints. Both silkscreen and spray-paint on 45 x 45 cm 300gsm Somerset paper.

The Private View will take place 6-10pm on Thursday 7th July at Westbank Gallery, 3-5 Thorpe Close, London W10 5XL.

Please RSVP to guestlist@londonwestbank.com as this will be a busy night.

Show open to the public thereafter until 13th July.

We will be issuing a show catalogue, so any of you who can't make the show, please don't hesitate to request one from us.

In his own words, Otto talks about the show:

"'AnonymOsch' came about for a couple of reasons. When we were putting together my latest solo show I had to come up with a name that meant something to me! I decided on the show being named 'Extinction Extension'. Followers of my work will know that I try to highlight the futility of war and also the fragile plight of many of our endangered species. These guys at anonymous try very much to do the same thing in their own kind of way.They have started a global movement that is growing by the day. Although I don't agree with everything that they highlight, a lot of what they convey makes perfect sense. My 'Orb' (or 'Sunset') body of works do not pertain to anywhere in the world in particular, but rather everywhere where there is conflict. 'AnonymOSCH' is a hybrid artwork that utilises the impact of the simplistic Orb and also encompasses my trademark ribbon style. The face of Anonymous was taken from the 'V is for Vendetta' movie, although originally (as I am led to believe) it was manufactured as a Guy Fawkes mask.
When Anonymous Chapter One, London commissioned the drawing from me I jumped at the chance as it was an image that I had been toying with for quite some time."

We look forward to welcoming you to another Westbank special and hope that as many of you as possible can make the show.
