Bio



Charlie Osborne (b. 1999, Cardiff) is a London-based artist working across video, performance, music, and writing. Working through poetic vignettes, their practice employs a fictive logic to theatricality and the hyperreal. Drawing on horror aesthetics in both style and strategy, the work takes hybrid form—shock-rock essay-concert, noise performance, magical-realist story—shaped by screamo, synth-punk, hypnagogic pop, screaming harmonica, and a never-ending love-story rendered polyphonically. Osborne’s characters, video, sculpture and live shows are conceived as a spiritual dimension, where existential excess and the folly of modernity drive conspiracy and phenomena—replying through a new mythicism.

Osborne graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Camberwell College of Arts in 2021. Exhibitions and screenings include In the Offing (edited by Mark Leckey) at Turner Contemporary, Margate (2023); London Short Film Festival (2022, 2023); BFI Film Festival (2023); and Swedenborg House Film Festival (2023). Between 2022–23, they were a resident artist on the Conditions / ICA Studio Programme, culminating in a screening at the ICA, London (2024). Osborne’s solo show exhibited at Piccallli Gallery (2024) alongside a book and EP release with Ayvan and Odyxxey. Recent live shows include Saatchi Yates, ICA, Cafe Otto and Les Urbaines Festival. Osborne has recently been selected on Film London’s FLAMIN fellowship scheme.
