Biomorphic No 6 Jana Osterman

Artist Jana Osterman draws her inspiration from the shapes, colours and textures of the natural world. This pure white wall relief is made of wood, foam and plaster finished with a burnished venetian plaster. The piece is sealed with acrylic giving it a light sheen. “I’m interested in producing quiet, minimal, contemplative work, concerned with how far I can push a form and material to stay inside that realm.” Jana Osterman Born in Slovenia, Osterman moved to Holland where she studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. She continued with printmaking studies in England.
