Oxmarket Contemporary will be welcoming back Oscar Romp for a solo exhibition in February 2024 in the John Rank Gallery.  Oscar originally trained at The Royal College of Art specialising in Fine Art printmaking but for the last 35 years his focus has been on figurative drawing and painting. Oscar draws ‘live on site, ’in ‘real time,’ - in order to capture the atmosphere and energy of the event time or place.  Artworks are often conceived in situ and then reworked back in the studio.  This shows through in his final paintings where you can see the movement of his figures and almost hear the music. 

Oscar’s exhibition - The Path Taken is a curation of work of various subjects and media which are reflections on a life lived and a floor danced, a path taken.

Fusing his figurative painting skills with his ‘people skills’ and cultural awareness, Oscar forges a parallel career as a site-specific artist. He delivers commissioned murals, participatory projects, residencies and workshops to host-organisations in healthcare, community and education settings. Clients include The National Trust, Positive East, The Sussex Beacon, The Brighton Oasis Project, Zeit!Raum Vienna, Frimley Park, and Kings College Hospital NHS Trusts.

‘Oscar is currently artist in residence at Denmans Gardens’, Chichester.
