Stefan Osnowski is a visual artist using one of the oldest reproduction processes to create an extremely filigree, digitally appealing, ultra-modern aesthetic. He exclusively uses the centuries-old technique of woodblock printing. Osnowski is investigating digital codes to transform it into analogue ones to represent phenomenas such as time, movement and spaces in a two dimensional image frame. The transformation of the original image into an abstract binary bar code - 1 or 0 – carved into the wooden panel and printed by hand; gathering a theme or selecting a medium is just as much a part of the concept as physical contact and hand-crafting.
Stefan works at Fábrica Moderna in Lisbon/Marvila.
