Elizabeth Osborne: Landscapes of the Mind's Eye
Excerpt from Elizabeth Osborne: Landscapes of Place, Memory, and the Mind’s Eye, 1969–2024
By Lisa N. Peters, Ph.D.
As the works in this exhibition demonstrate, Elizabeth Osborne sees “landscape” as a flexible language for exploration and reflection, of both place, its representation and the convergence of the two. Using landscape as an interactive process to perceive and shape the world around her, Osborne dissolves boundaries between modalities and genres, achieving wholeness by uniting the moment with memory, the specific with the universal, the temporal with the infinite. Walking among her canvases in the present show, a glow emanates that fuses the acts of seeing and feeling. As Robert Cozzolino stated in the catalogue for the exhibition, Elizabeth Osborne: The Color of Light (Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, 2009), “Osborne’s oeuvre is full of surprises, stylistically inquisitive yet cohesive, hauntingly introspective and complex in its artistic and personal associations.”
