“The Founding Fathers: John Phillip Osborne - The Artist’s 50th Anniversary Exhibition.”
The Friends are thrilled to host JM Stringer Gallery for their fourth annual exhibition featuring the contemporary American master, John Phillip Osborne (b. 1951). This two-weekend show and sale will be a curated selection of Osborne’s newest work. Admission tickets will be available for purchase at the door each day.
Osborne is an internationally renowned painter and avid student of history, particularly the American Revolution, who has won numerous awards for his landscape, figurative, and still life paintings. A native of northern New Jersey, the encampments and significant battles of the Revolution literally envelop him, sparking a lifelong fire to artistically investigate the period and its players. The landscapes ordinary citizen soldiers and great Generals marched through still surround us today, the murmur of their footsteps still echo. Osborne captures these transcendental moments with a fine art background, academically trained eye, and historical accuracy – but above all, with unrivaled passion.
Schedule: May 11 – Exhibition from 12 PM – 6 PM with a live demonstration by John Phillip Osborne at 2 PM, May 12 – Exhibition from 12 PM – 5 PM, May 18 – Exhibition from 12 PM – 6 PM, May 19- Exhibition from 12 PM – 5 PM.
