Born in Chile in the early 70s Otto Schade, aka Osch, studied architecture and made a career as architect and urban sculpture, until a fascination with surrealism and abstract art turned his passion toward painting. Painting since 1996 he says his work typically treats themes with a sharp, ironic touch and his paintings have now been exhibited all over the world. After moving to the London district of Shoreditch he became interested in the local street art scene and his trademark ribbon style emerged, relying on his background in architecture. In Los Angeles in December, 2015 Schade painted this large 29’ x 98’ family of elephants overlooking Glendale Blvd. as part of a new Gabba Gallery alley beautification project—Animal Alley. @otto_schade @gabbagallery
