David Ostrowski: Parliament
In David Ostrowski’s paintings, minimal gestures create maximum tension. Parliament, David Ostrowski’s first exhibition at the New York gallery, furthers the artist’s relentless questioning of the medium of painting and its constitutive elements via the recurring figure of the owl.
One of Germany’s most renowned abstract artists of his generation, Ostrowski occupies a unique role within the history of abstract painting: he pulls from both minimalist painting traditions of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the late-twentieth-century urge to dismantle the medium’s heroism and beauty. Ostrowski tips painting—and us, as viewers—off-balance, making the medium dynamic, poetic and strange.
