Orquevaux 3 Ludovic Dervillez The paintings Ostovany creates unfold

The paintings Ostovany creates unfold over time

to make sweeping

and seems to emanate from a dreamlike and mysterious realm

A major theme in his oeuvre is the passage of time

Working not from a precise recollection of forms

Orquevaux 3 Ludovic Dervillez The paintings Ostovany creates unfoldThis work comes from a new series created during a residency at the Chateau d'Orquevaux, in France in Dec 18. The paintings Ostovany creates unfold over time, evolving as layers of pigment are added, washed out, covered over, scraped away, dissolved and then more layers added. With each new phase in the process the composition becomes deeper and more luminous.
