Carl Ostendarp: Greatest Hits: Exhibition Catalogue Kunstverein Heilbronn
No Customer Reviews
In 2014, Ken Johnson writes in the New York Times about Carl Ostendarp's works that they had the same effect as someone belching in church during worship. This admiring observation is aimed at the artist's oxymoronic skill of combining the incompatible: onomatopoeia from comics (in the NYT it is called "goofy signature letters") with cool color-field or hard-edge painting (according to NYT : "high-minded seriousness of the modernist monochrome"). The background for Carl Ostendarp's quite entertaining paintings is his interest in graphics, which he shares with many artists of his generation. Born in 1961 in the liberal university town of Amherst, Massachusetts, he now lives and works as an art professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. In 2017 Carl Ostendarp presented his first comprehensive solo-exhibition at Kunstverein Heilbronn in Germany, after cabinet exhibitions at Museum Ludwig, Cologne, and MMK in Frankfurt am Main. For his solo shows, he usually creates extensive wallpaintings reminiscent of landscapes.
