This is a very special handmade print from a woodcut with 5 different oil-based colors on 200g/m2 Hahnemühle-paper. The image depicts a seascape, based on a digital image which was taken on the atlantic coast of Portugal. The portuguese title ENTRE means "in between", which also can be seen as the invisible line "between" sea and sky, water and earth, between day and night, and light and darkness, between fluid movement and complete standstill. The endlessness of the sky and sea provoke us to consider our own limitations: The horizon is a limit we can never reach, that constantly suggests to us its distance. Due to their delimitation, these images also refer to the painting „The monk by the sea“ by Caspar David Friedrich, on which Heinrich von Kleist remarked, ‚the observers eyelids would be cut away‘. The original digital photograph is transformed during a month-long time-consuming handwork into a digital barcode which will be carved into wood to be finally printed by hand on paper. The use of any mechanical equipment is deliberately avoided. The traditional analog printing of images and the associated loss of information compared to the original photographs, exerts a peculiar tension by underlining the contrast between the digital immaterial image and the handmade physical print.

Portugal
„For many years now, Stefan Osnowski has been concerned with a new approach to wood engravings and has been developing the opportunities inherent to the technique. When preparing the engravings enlarged to the size of an easel painting, he creates a range of tonal values purely through the variation of the width and depth of the carved lines, horizontal and vertical or diagonal, as well as through the alteration of the density of the grid whilst retaining a purely monochrome imagery. His printing technique also deviates from the norm, due to the use of a palm- size glass lens to manually rub the ink onto the paper rather than a printing press, thus preserving the apparent uniqueness of each individual item in a series. Physical contact and hand-crafting is just as much a part of the concept as gathering a theme or selecting a medium.”
