PLATO

Plato is excited to host Face the Music, Luke Osborn’s solo exhibition featuring mixed media paintings
and drawings unified by the theme of music and exploring the power of collective experiences. The show
will open at our lower gallery with a public reception on November 26th, from 6-8pm.

For six days they stood on their rooftops and watched, and down from the mountains came music. These
are lines from Luke Osborn’s poem inspired by the painting which he eventually titled with them. The key
leitmotifs of this exhibition – music and sound – are manifested throughout the show: not only in the
narratives – a crowd whistling to the rain, an audience gathered in an auditorium, a drinking party – but
also in the syncopated colors, rhythmically repeated shapes, speech bubbles and actual musical notes,
literal or abstracted.
