About the Item

"Wendover 2" by Joseph Ostraff, oil on panel, 36 X 31 inches, $4,800. "For me, paint documents the state of things, how I feel and what is at the forefront in my thinking—maybe it’s like the soup of the day. I do not consider this process to be anything special in itself. The paintings record the daily random and absurd associations I make, which seem interesting to me after the fact. The Domestic paintings are a case in point. My wife and I have six children. Four have left home. Three are married. We are left with two children, both currently in middle school. We have about five years and they too will move out. This is on my mind. I am thinking about the layers of memories and it comes out as layers of paint. Feeling nostalgic, I think about all the noise and activity our home has absorbed. In turn, I found children’s large vinyl decals from Angry Birds and Hello Kitty and use them as stencils to make my shapes. This is absurd of course, because we never had such things in our home—they seem like the ultimate kitsch at face value. But, I think the way I use these shapes as stencils transforms them. Now, they are more implicit and metaphorical. It is a classic case of appropriation. There are no literal correlations between a given memory and specific paintings- this process is just a starting point for play. " - Joseph Ostraff
