Extracts from contemporary art review:
"Like many other young artists today, he [Osman] flies in the face of tradition by using any material that best yields desired textural effects."
 
"With innate feeling for color and nice sense of rythm, he [Osman] produces subtly effective non-objective compositions based on two primary patterns: swirl and swing, and color latticing".
 
Lyrical abstraction from the golden period of American mid century art inspired by legendary American artist Jasper John (b.1930).
