Otto Schade

After attaining an architecture degree in Concepción, Otto began his career as an urban sculptor. But it was his fascination with surreal art that led him toward his passion to paint. Inspired by masters of the past like Dali, Magritte, Miro, Giger, and Beksiński.

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 walls.

Otto quickly found the local street art scene, where he painted pieces boasting a sharp and ironic twist. While communicating anti-war themes along with his trademark ribbon style, he earned a street cred name, Osch, in London’s district of Shoreditch and beyond.

He has participated in some of the biggest art festivals, including the “Upfest” in Bristol, “Sand, Sea and Spray” in Blackpool, “City of Colors” in Birmingham and “Hometown” in Berlin. As well, Otto’s pieces have been exhibited in the USA, South America, Africa, Asia and many cities across Europe.

The demand for Otto’s unique pieces of art continues. In 2018 alone, he participated in two art exhibitions – one in Paris and one in Berlin – and had the opportunity to paint in the following cities: Miami, New York City, Denver, Lisbon, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich and Santiago. In December, Otto was painting a mural in Jamaica.
