The series GRID is an experimental abstract woodcut, based on 3 single, completely independent carved plates which finally are printed in different colors, overlapping each other. The result is a vibrating image of interacting openings and cuts, overlapping forms and colors. Each single print is a unique work, printed in very different color sequences.

GRID is a work, which includes indeterminacy and the most variety of possibilities and allows a multitude of interpretations, but at the same time focuses on the theories of geometry, mathematical systems and methods that are already known from mapping. „Maps are statements about the physical nature of the world, its shape and its limits. They display beliefs or concepts about the nature of the world and how it can be depicted.“ (Christian Jacob: Towards a Cultural History of Cartography, 1996)

Based on the so called „Amsler grid“, a tool that eye doctors use to detect vision problems resulting from damage to the macula, the most sensitive part of the central retina, responsible for visual acuity and color vision, Osnowski’s work tries to investigate geometric shapes and how to use them to question the influence of colors and color perception on them. The artist reproduces seemingly overlapping and cutting forms in powerful color nuances that convey a three-dimensional feeling of movement. This work is also influenced by the color theories of the German painter, teacher and art theorist Josef Albers, who dealt with color and form and their interpenetration in his own works.
