Patrick Ostrowsky
born 1991 in Schwandorf, Germany, lives and works in Munich and Basel
Patrick Ostrowsky is concerned with sculpture and its relation to space, its function and interface with architecture and design. The theories of Minimal Art, Post Minimal Art and Land Art enter his work in many ways. The artist examines the dichotomous tensions between residual nature and technology, past and future, center and border, form and anti-form. Following a site-specific, experimental, and process-oriented artistic approach, he makes use of the technique of casting, whereby the examination of seemingly contradictory material properties and the appropriation of everyday objects are crucial. Guided by material aspects of places and phenomena of abstract imprints into urban landscape, he is concerned with transferring structures of urban life and strategies of temporary architecture to sculpture.
