In David Ostrowski's paintings, minimal gestures create maximum tension. His spray-painted lines break apart monochromatic backgrounds, both emphasizing and negating the painting's flatness. Surfaces sometimes built from plain house paint reveal underlayers of studio detritus that complicate the presumed emptiness of his abstract compositions. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present Parliament, Ostrowski's first exhibition at the New York gallery, which furthers the artist's relentless questioning of the medium of painting and its constitutive elements via the recurring figure of the owl.
