Yari Ostovany - Conference of the Birds Nr. 44 Painting

From the 'Conference of the Birds' Series Oil on Paper 45.7 x 60.9 cm Yari’s work is a personal journey into the realm of the spiritual through the alchemy of paint, color, light, texture and the poetics of space. His paintings – densely layered compositions made over time with numerous layers of thick and thin washes and glazes – are records of this intuitive journey. Yari works with calligraphic-based gestural marks, solid forms, and shapes, which then begin to disintegrate as the layers explode and implode, are added, rubbed out, re-applied, scoured into and scraped away and rebuilt. Ultimately, this results in the expanding and developing of rhizome-like, lateral structures, until the distinction between the foreground and the background and spatial hierarchy begin to dissolve like layers of memory, and give way to another, ephemeral sense of form and visual phenomena. Yari’s works deal with the primordial energies that are revealed through the interplay of contradictory forces – within and without – on the surface of his paintings. As Yari notes, his works are comprised of ‘layers of vibrant colours over deep textures, gestural abstractions and forms, atmospheric passages where forms and marks become metaphors for a transcendental reality developing in a fractal-like fashion with not a single point of entry but multiple points of entry’. In these atmospheric abstractions, he searches not for a representation of spiritual energy, but rather a translation of it into light and texture, navigating the space between stasis and movement.
