WALDFLUCHT 3/3 - Limited Edition of 3 Print

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. WALDFLUCHT can be translated as „edge of the forest“, often the straight line the forests end forms, leading into the distance. Yet the title also allude to the english word „escape“ (Flucht). 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 print is 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 the print is finished, depending on several conditions, as temperature, humidity and weight of the paper. This particular work is a special hand made, unique print in turquoise on 220g Hahnemühle paper.
