Description: The instruments in David Ostrowski's work, beside the canvas itself, are spray paint or materials such as paper, strips of wood, newspapers or cardboard, which he finds in his studio. Often found materials, for instance a piece of cardboard with paint residue, or a single spray-painted line, find their way onto the canvas. Even the dust which the canvas absorbs from lying on the studio floor becomes an element of the composition. When Ostrowski talks about the act of painting, he mentions the inclusion of the error, injecting itself into the work coincidentally and uncontrollably in equal measure, ultimately determining the composition. Exhibition: Kunstraum Innsbruck, Austria (11.04-13.06.2015).
