SOLO EXHIBITION "Wilderness" - Limited Edition of 1 Photograph

Osnowskis work utilize the digital realm to combine with elements of traditional printing techniques like woodcut. The artists process of carving involves using digital gestures and touchscreen failures to develop his works, which once complete, may be read as an abstracted and monochrome version of contemporary digital image, full of vibrant color, suggestive with distortions, static and blips that contrast with subtle gradations of luminous color saturation. "Monochrome" comes from the ancient greek word "monochromos", literally meaning ‚having one colour‘. The monochrome often serves purposes. On one hand to communicate spiritual purity; by choosing one colour, one could explore the tranquility of total abstraction. The other purpose was to reduce the work of art to its simplest form so that the focus of the piece would be on its pure physical elements; colour, form, texture. "Vadon" is the hungarian equivalent for wilderness. Accordingly an area is been called as wilderness, if it is assigned as a counter-world to any cultural principle of order. The evaluation can be both positive and negative: as "untamed, untidy" nature in contrast to the cultivated nature, or as "unspoiled, innocent" nature. It is this innocent wilderness the biblical motif of Garden Eden, the mythological place of the Genesis, the origin of all forms. The untouched forest still as a metaphor and longing landscape, as a counterpart to urban cityscapes, nowadays retains its mythical face. Osnowski suggests to the viewer a landscape that dissolves, fades, escapes or falls, and that the motif can only be recognized in vague and vague outlines. Therefore he uses the possibilities of the woodcut technique in very different ways. As already known from his previous works, he consistently cuts linear codes in different grid sequences manually into the wood: Horizontal and vertical lines in precise, constant intervals form the basic graphic structure. The final prints are made by hand, only with a simple glass lens to manually rub the paper from the backside to press the oil ink into the paper and to transfer the carving into a very personal printed image. This process can last for several hours until a print is finished, depending on several conditions, as temperature, humidity and weight of the paper.
