David Ostrowski's "F (Beauty Mantra)" combines oil, lacquer, and paper on canvas to create a mixed media composition that exemplifies his approach to abstraction through gestural marks and layered materials. The work reflects Ostrowski's interest in the tension between control and spontaneity, where the addition of paper and lacquer introduces varied textures and visual depth to the painted surface. The title's reference to "beauty mantra" suggests a meditative or philosophical dimension to the abstract formal language, inviting viewers to find meaning in the work's visual rhythms and material interactions.
