Miguel Osuna’s transportation inspired oil paintings are constructed as memoirs: visual recollections of the fleeting yet sensuous moments travelers experience en route. These landscapes highlight the strong connection between the permanence of the roadway and substantiality of our own reflections.
The roadway transports the traveler from one location to another - Osuna revels in this space, using gradients of color that remove detail so that the viewer focuses less on the sharper aspects of the road and more on the memory of the encounter. The smoothness of the brushstroke exemplifies the haziness of the memory. Each stroke has a place, driving the pigment just so and solidifying the transient effect, so that Osuna is as much en route creating the work as the viewer is encountering and reencountering it.
Osuna’s highway series evokes the roadway in Los Angeles as both a temporal and permanent backdrop of experience. Painterly use of light captures the viscosity of what we remember in the blur of moments, spaced between locations. The richness of LA is unfolded in the sweeping transition of light and color on the canvas.
