In this episode of one.voice, Fabian Kluth sits down with Edinburgh-born artist Oliver Osborne in his studio in Berlin for a conversation about painting, art history, and what it means to create slow, thoughtful images in a world dominated by digital speed.
Fabian first discovered Oliver’s work at Fondazione ICA in Milan, where the paintings immediately stood out for their quiet intensity and their strong connection to art history. Osborne is known for works that move between figuration and abstraction and constantly refer back to the visual language of the Old Masters while still feeling completely contemporary.
We talk about his fascination with painting, his admiration for artists like Michel Majerus. The conversation also becomes more personal when we discuss the challenge of painting his own children and how intimacy, repetition, and observation shape his artistic process.
This episode is a conversation about art history, digital culture, and the question that still feels relevant today: can painting remain timeless?
