Roy Osborne has sustained interest in all aspects of colour in art and design since studying at Brighton College of Art (1966-70). In various ongoing series of paintings (Divisions, Heraldic, Bends, Compass, etc) he has explored colour contrast, harmony, contour, optical colour mixing, and illusory depth in works that typically integrate figure-ground ambiguity, regular pattern, formal symmetry, hard versus soft edge, illusory transparency, light and shade, and plainness versus texture. Many later abstracts feature horizontal, vertical and diagonal divisions of the square. Regular patterns encourage the eye to explore arrays of colours, with rhythm provided by predominant shapes and prominent colour contrasts or groupings. A presentation of his theories is included in Color Influencing Form (2004, revised 2016). He has contributed to 130 group exhibitions in the UK and abroad (plus 6 solo shows), and has work in over 80 private collections and several public collections.
