Otto Schade

A native of Chile, Otto Schade first took his vibrant art to England in 2006. Otto began his career as an urban sculptor, but also ran an architectural practice alongside 2 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 Beksiński that inspired his ongoing passion to paint.
Combining his love for Architecture and Art, Otto began painting creative pieces with one-of-a-kind urban contemporary themes. Originally starting with oil paint on canvas, Otto explored various styles and mediums from collages, to illustrations, to stencil free-hand spray paint on canvas and then, the eventual shift to interior and exterior walls.
Otto quickly discovered the local street art scene in 2009, where he painted pieces boasting a sharp and ironic twist. While communicating anti-war themes in his Orb style. He also use a trademark ribbon style, that is very recognisable and unique, using always Osch as his signature.
