About Paul Osipow

  • Biography

    Paul Osipow is a Finnish painter who in the 1960s was the most famous representative in Finland of American pop art. After that he became one of the leading names of constructivism.

    Osipow studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in 1958–1962 and has worked as a teacher there and later also in Sweden. Osipow has emphasized abstract and non-figurative painting and is a leading representative of its development in the Nordic art scene, where he continues to inspire new generations of artists.

    His exhibitions in the 1990s showed a gradual movement from a purely geometric expression to a more painterly and unlimited one, inspired by the pioneers of modern painting, not least late Impressionism, Cubism and Fauvism.
