David Osbaldeston (born 1968) is a British visual artist and academic based in the UK. He is currently Reader in Fine Art at the Manchester School of Art and is formerly a Lecturer in Painting & Printmaking at Glasgow School of Art.
His work primarily engages with drawing, painting and print to produce a personal method of making he terms 'flat sculpture' and is used to regularly address or satirise power relationships and perceptions of class.
By drawing upon elements of his biography he is known for the re-organization of materials, objects and language to form absurdist systems which make abstract connections between perception and reading.
He is a 2025/26 recipient of the Abbey Fellowship Award in Painting at The British School at Rome.
