This new body of works marks just a half-step forward in his art practice, that has become certainly more relaxed since <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simonleegallery.com\/exhibitions\/david-ostrowski\" target=\"_blank\">his solo show at Simon Lee<\/a> gallery last November, and in line with the three big canvases presented at <a href=\"http:\/\/okooko.org\/exhibitions\/beautiful-woman-ends-feet-2\" target=\"_blank\">Oko gallery<\/a> in New York two weeks ago. It is a matter of fact that Ostrowski is keeping his style very coherent and self-centered. Also this time the introductory text plays a key role.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While at Simon Lee the exhibition was introduced by an effective artist&#8217;s interview run by a film director revealing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.conceptualfinearts.com\/cfa\/2013\/12\/04\/david-ostrowskis-emotional-paintings-a-solo-show-at-simon-lee\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ostrowski personality as an artist<\/a>, here the text is by the art critic Nicolas Trembley. With the approach of an art historian, Trembley meticulously describes the evolution of Ostrowski&#8217;s art practice from figuration to abstraction. He also explains the way the artist uses colors and signs, and analyzes the meaning of the letter F that titles the series to which the artworks on show belong: F like failure, floor, flying, foot, frame, farbe (the German term for color)&#8230; Of course the \u201cuser guide\u201d could also be applied to the works that are not on show, like this one we have spotted in a private collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; As many collectors may have noticed the last solo exhibition of David Ostrowski opened ten days ago at Almine Reich gallery in Paris (until 19 April).
