Osuna’s new series reveals his love for experimentation with media
and with the exploration that furthers his creative practice. In The
Bends, Osuna uproots the membranes of his earlier work, SPIN, liberating
them from the tension on the canvas. His calligraphy is pulled apart,
exposing a magnetism and a more robust intimacy with the surface. Osuna’s
decompressed work sighs with unexpected emotion, emitting an almost
audible, albeit discordant rhythm of brush strokes. The Bends offers
an urgently meaningful subject matter for Osuna, high energy and motion
blur the rigorous painterly passion for depth, but the reduction reveals
his innate biological signature.
