Fire (2010) Printmaking by Lynn Osman

Lynn Osman holds a Masters degree in Visual Arts from the Lebanese University and a Graphic Design Bachelors Degree from the American University of Beirut. Her visual research interests are comparative subculture and underground music production. Lynn’s visual essays are part of the permanent collection of Marguerite Duras Public Library, Paris and was exhibited at the Tokyo Art Book Fair. One of her projects was awarded the Step Beyond Travel grant by the European Cultural Foundation.

Employing a selection of mechanical techniques - drawn from procedural and illustrative influences - Osman portrays visual representations inspired by music subcultures and corresponding musical production processes. She explores conceptual juxtapositions of quasi mismatched depictions, challenging and subverting notions of what appeals to the visual in an exploratory transgression.

Through a complex composition of figures, she further comments on sociocultural ideas, reflecting the need to rethink//restage social constructs, stereotypes and notions on gender and identity particularly in the Middle East.
