Piece description from the artist
Effigy No. 2 offers more than visual intrigue—it offers a mirror. It resonates emotionally, reflecting themes of memory‑making, belonging, and the beauty in our fragmented, human story. Osgood’s layering technique ensures every viewing reveals new details—guaranteeing a deeply engaging investment.
John Osgood is a contemporary artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. His work incorporates visual and stylistic elements of street art, graffiti, pop culture and cubism to depict the human condition. Osgood layers a combination of acrylic, aerosol, and oil paint on either canvas or wood panel to create his vibrant and textural paintings. This process-oriented approach mirrors the multifaceted nature of memory and the collective human experience. Osgood holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington State University with a minor in Fine Arts. He participates in exhibitions across the US and his murals can be found up and down the West Coast, UK, and Spain.
