Carsten Ost

During the course of his artistic profession, Carsten Ost has developed his own special technique which he uses to burn fine lines into a black sheet of paper. Over a period of months, these lines become more compact and form a delicate network. Finally, they gradually grow and turn into complex structures. The artist calls them “Brennpfade” – burning trails. His other designs and artistic works are also based on these structures. The distinctive style of Carsten Ost flows into a wide spectrum of artistic activities, from graphical and sculptural works through to multimedia-based performances.

Carsten Ost was born in Hamburg in 1961. He studied Design at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences from 1984 to 1988, after which he worked as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. Since 1992 he has been working as an independent artist. He lives and works in Lauenbrück, which is south of Hamburg.
