Keyword results: Oslo Davis
Oslo Davis and I have developed an acrimonious working relationship over the years, which I will not attempt to conceal in this interview marking the opening of his first solo exhibition at Lamington Drive. Oslo is the straight-talking everyman. The guy who is watching when you are kind of being a dick, the chap who tells the truth about life when no-one else will.
There's something about Oslo - something very, very strange. These three little books, collections of work printed on subtly varying paper stocks, are like peering through a semi-transparent shower screen into his unique mind.
Someone said that the root of all comedy lies in a kind of superfluous rigidity, in the comedic subject not realising or not acknowledging that a given situation has changed, and so acting in a way that, while only a moment ago was appropriate, is now inappropriate.
