The Thin Red Line

Daniel Ostrowski (Köln, 1981) widens his spectrum of meditations on the color red with The Thin Red Line.The German painter has been long experimenting with chromatic hues on white or neutral background, but it took him almost a decade to go back to investigating the scarlet shade¿a coloring bearing social and cultural implications, besides playing a fundamental part on the history of painting. Made using found material and canvases painted with acrylic and lacquer, Ostrowski's recent work are an exploration of the absence and presence of the color.
