Charlie Osborne

Charlie Osborne (b. 1999, Cardiff) is a London-based artist working across video, performance, music, writing and painting. Working through poetic vignettes, their practice employs a fictive logic to theatricality and the hyperreal. Drawing on horror aesthetics in both style and strategy, the work takes hybrid form—shock-rock essay-concert, noise performance, magical-realist story—shaped by screamo, synth-punk, hypnagogic pop, screaming harmonica, and a never-ending love-story rendered polyphonically. Osborne’s characters, video, sculpture and live shows are conceived as a spiritual dimension, where existential excess and the folly of modernity drive conspiracy and phenomena—replying through a new mythicism.

In October 2026 Charlie signed to PAN and released ‘Running with my shoes on, until my feet bleed’.

Osborne graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Camberwell College of Arts in 2021. Exhibitions and screenings include In the Offing (edited by Mark Leckey) at Turner Contemporary, Margate (2023); London Short Film Festival (2022, 2023); BFI Film Festival (2023); and Swedenborg House Film Festival (2023). Between 2022–23, they were a resident artist on the Conditions / ICA Studio Programme, culminating in a screening at the ICA, London (2024). Osborne’s solo show exhibited at Piccallli Gallery (2024) alongside a book and EP release with Ayvan and Odyxxey. Recent live shows include Saatchi Yates, ICA, Cafe Oto, Unsound and Les Urbaines Festival.
