ABOUT ME
Derek Ogbourne, British artist
Derek Ogbourne, born in High Wycombe, studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, London.
Ogbourne’s unique oeuvre is multi-faceted. Periods of production can be broken down to: Large organic paintings (early 1980s), interactive art installations (late 1980s), performance art (1990s), video and filmic narrative explorations and mechanical Installations (2000s to the present), and his museum installation entitled The Museum of Optography which evolved and grew to number seven shows (2007- 2016) and comprised 300 art pieces.
A return to painting from 2017 culminated in his Lockdown Series of 2020 and Blue Series of 2023.
Exhibition highlights include What Makes Me, What Makes You at the South London Gallery, Space International, Valencia, Spain, The Museum of Optography, The Purple Chamber, for which he is best known internationally, at Sharjah Foundation, UAE, and The Last Image, at Heidelberg Museum, Germany.
