Rachel Ostrow | We Were Never Alone
October 28 – December 4, 2021
Rachel Ostrow’s paintings exist somewhere between what is recognizable and what is otherworldly or abstract. They indulge in the mystery, uncertainty and changeability of perception and give authority to the viewer’s imagination to complete the experience.
Rachel Ostrow is a Brooklyn-based painter and printmaker. She earned an M.F.A. in painting from Hunter College, a post-baccalaureate degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art, and a B.A. in Fine Arts from Wesleyan University. Ostrow’s paintings use movement and light to explore space and form and skirt the line between abstraction and representation.
