Osnowski, in his latest prints, reduces the woodcut to its most basic units, the stroke of the engraving knife, which corresponds to the basic unit of digital data storage, the bit. The parallels are not forced, as both are based on the dichotomous structure of yes-no, 0-1, false-true, and dark-light. Thus, in the minimalist visuality, thousands of years of woodcut technique and vision are found together with the basic unit that stores digital information, which today is used to store and then retrieve most images, and through which we eventually see reality. The image motifs of the sky or clouds Osnowski „translates“ on the wooden plate into a simple linear code and manually cuts into the wood: Horizontal and vertical lines in precise, constant intervals form the basic graphic structure. Through a variety of cut openings, partially closed, partially open, thereby forming the final print a wide range of different light and dark tones, which produce a coherent image when viewing. All prints of this series are printed in classical dark oily Black on high quality 240g/m2 ARCHES paper (Velin Johannot) with beautiful deckle edges and watermark. Due to the fine grain texture of the paper the handprinted images become very vibrant and because the actual printing is done manually, without the use of machines or presses, using only a large glass lens.

„For many years now, Stefan Osnowski has been concerned with a new approach to wood engravings and has been developing the opportunities inherent to the technique. When preparing the engravings enlarged to the size of an easel painting, he creates a range of tonal values purely through the variation of the width and depth of the carved lines, horizontal and vertical or diagonal, as well as through the alteration of the density of the grid whilst retaining a purely monochrome imagery. His printing technique also deviates from the norm, due to the use of a palm- size glass lens to manually rub the ink onto the paper rather than a printing press, thus preserving the apparent uniqueness of each individual item in a series. Physical contact and hand-crafting is just as much a part of the concept as gathering a theme or selecting a medium.”
