F (Capture the dream)
2013
A sweeping expanse of raw, largely unpainted canvas is punctuated by spare, gestural marks and fragments of paper and cardboard, reflecting Ostrowski's signature embrace of reduction and painterly restraint. Thin washes of oil and lacquer drift across the surface with an effortless, almost accidental quality, evoking the fleeting and elusive nature suggested by the work's title. The artist's own frame further collapses the boundary between object and artwork, asserting the painting as a complete, self-contained whole.
