Do we see imaginary or real landscapes? The tide of condensation and thinning, or as liquids are freezing? As if facing the rays of a dark sun, we have to squint: because we can sense figurality, but as we take one step aside, the structure glints immediately. What we see is abstract and concrete at the same time. Or somewhere in between the two. The series of monochromatic woodcuts shows images of an empty Seascape on the west coast of Europe, in southern Portugal. This landscape is characterized by its broad boundlessness. The composition of each image always follows the same strict classical principle: The Focus goes out to the sea to an endless horizon in the distance that divides the image exactly in the middle. The upper half of the picture portrays a cloudy sky during the twilight of the dawning night. In the lower half, the ocean and waves break in endless repetition on the shore and blur the border between land and sea. This is a handmade print in Phthalo Blue - oil ink on 180g/m2 Hahnemühle paper.

„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.”
