Eastbourne Framing Centre
Featured Artists
Christopher Osborne
Christopher Osborne grew up in Margate, Kent and worked in engineering, before becoming a professional artist in 1974.
He is self-taught and his fine oil paintings display a sensitive observation of the quiet countryside, its moods, seasons and weather.
He believes that worthwhile painting is founded on acute observation and a developing craftsmanship. When the weather allows, he works on site as this develops a good feel for the subject.
For ten years he lived in East Anglia and was much influenced by the sweeping skies and open landscape. However, his love of the Downs, Weald and marshes of the south led him to East Sussex where he lives with his wife and family.
A series of limited edition prints of Sussex are available and prices for Christopher Osborne’s work start at £25 for the print only; £34 double-mounted and £67.50 framed.
Eric Ravilious (1903-1942)
Eric Ravilious, an English painter, designer, wood-engraver and illustrator was educated at Eastbourne School of Art and the Royal College of Art. Appointed Official War Artist in 1940, Ravilious's work is now an online exhibition at the Imperial War Museum, London.
Eastbourne’s recently opened Towner Art Gallery, holds the largest collection of Ravilious’s work in the country, many of which feature the Sussex countryside around Eastbourne.
Painted around the time of the outbreak of the second World War, The Wilmington Giant (displayed), in Wilmington, nr Eastbourne, is one of several prehistoric figures cut into the turf of chalk hillsides in southern England. It featured in Eric Ravilious's engravings in 1929.
