Join mural artist Otto Schade aka "osch" as he shares his journey from being an architect in Chile to moving to Germany and East London, where he began developing his distinct ribbon style. He will share insights into to the life of a mural artist, how he secures commissions, and what it means to use public space as an urban canvas.
​
A native of Chile, Otto Schade AKA ‘Osch’ first took his vibrant art to England in 2006. Otto began his career as an urban sculptor but also ran an architectural practice alongside two colleagues while working in his homeland. However, it was his fascination with surrealist art and the masters of the past; Dali, Magritte, MC Escher, Giger, and BeksiÅ„ski that inspired his ongoing passion to paint.
Otto quickly discovered the local London Street art scene in 2009, where he started painting pieces boasting a sharp and ironic twist. He paints themes in both his Orb-style and distinct ribbon-style, that have become very recognisable and unique - using ‘Osch’ as his signature. Since 2009, he has participated in art festivals, including the “Upfest” in Bristol (UK), “Sand, Sea and Spray” (UK) in Blackpool, “City of Colours” in Birmingham (UK), Crush in Denver (US), “40 Grad Festival in Dusseldorf, Art base in Neustrelitz, “Hometown” in Berlin and “Monumenta” in Leipzig (Germany).
