Biography

Otis Blease graduated from the University of the West England with a first-class degree in Drawing and Printmaking. Both mediums continue to form the basis of much of his work, with the recent addition of sculpture. Otis grew up in Cornwall and has been influenced by its rural and isolated habitats. In contrast, whilst living in London he has been inspired by its fluid state of motion and lively connectivity. These opposite experiences combine to create moments of stillness, excitement and angst within his work.
