Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo presents a personal show of David Ostrowski (Cologne, 1981), one of the most interesting artists from the last generation of abstract painters, who are emerging on the international art scene. After studying at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf under Albert Oehlen, one of the most influential and controversial contemporary painters, Ostrowski grabbed international attention and, in the past two years, his works have been exhibited in Berlin, Paris, Zürich, New York, and Los Angeles. David Ostrowski has chosen painting both as a medium, and as the object of his research. His practice is based on a constant trial-and-error process, where chance and unexpected events are included in the work with the aim of attaining an unexpected beauty, a sort of visual poetry.
