PORTLAND, Ore., May 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Froelick Gallery to host First Thursday exhibit reception for painter Holly Osborne. Join us for our First Thursday Exhibition Reception with the artist on May 4, “First Thursday,” from 5-8 pm. First Thursday is a year-round and monthly event where art galleries located throughout downtown Portland stay open late and host receptions for their exhibits. Artists are often in attendance. This public event brings people from all walks of life to the streets of Downtown, The Pearl District, and The Old Town Neighborhoods of Portland, OR.
Froelick Gallery will also host Holly Osborne’s Exhibition Discussion on Saturday, May 8, starting at 11 am. Both events are free and open to the public, no tickets or RSVP.
While basing her pictures on impulse, experiences, and loved ones, she holds the steadfast intention to bring joy to the viewers. She writes “My artwork always comes directly from my heart- a place of love and compassion.” She commits significant time observing the natural world, making great effort to interpret plants, the points where natural elements meet, and the human touch on the land. These impressionable places are made up of striking red strokes, lush greens, hot vivid pinks, and cool jewel tones, and will charm and transport you into the beautiful mind of Holly Osborne. Her method of abstraction and depiction masterfully features the critical details and omits the irrelevant.
Osborne was born in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and currently resides in Portland. She earned a Master of Art Education in 2018, and a Bachelor of Science in 2014 both at Portland State University. Since graduating, Holly has been featured in multiple solo exhibitions every year, including recent exhibitions at Chefas Projects, Erickson Gallery, and Stumptown in Portland, OR. Osborne appears in Kelly Reichardt’s 2023 film “Showing Up” (distributed by A24). This is Osborne’s second solo exhibition at Froelick Gallery.
