Joseph Ostraff Art
American, b. 1959
Joseph Ostraff's paintings evoke the varied shapes and motifs of human cultures and geography. Using subtle color gradations and rich patterning, Ostraff creates works with startling compositional depth.
A three-time recipient of the prestigious Fellowship Award from the Utah Arts Council, last year Joseph Ostraff was also voted one of Utah's 15 most influential artists by a panel of his peers. Ostraff was born in Santa Monica, California in 1957, later earning an MFA from the University of Washington, Seattle in 1984, and is now a professor at Brigham Young University. The collaborative efforts he's organized have involved hundreds of artists around the globe and have culminated in more than 30 exhibitions both domestically and abroad.
Joseph Ostraff's paintings, book arts, and films have shown nationally and internationally in solo and group exhibitions in museums, universities, and institutions, among them: The Peace Factory, Tel Aviv, Israel; the Ballinglen Arts Foundation Museum of Art, Ballycastle, Co Mayo, IRE; Robert B.

"Wendover 3" by Joseph Ostraff, oil on panel, 36 X 31 inches, $4,800.
"For me, paint documents the state of things, how I feel and what is at the forefront in my thinking—maybe it’s like the soup of the day. I do not consider this process to be anything special in itself. The paintings record the daily random and absurd associations I make, which seem interesting to me after the fact. The Domestic paintings are a case in point. My wife and I have six children. Four have left home. Three are married. We are left with two children, both currently in middle school. We have about five years and they too will move out. This is on my mind. I am thinking about the layers of memories and it comes out as layers of paint. Feeling nostalgic, I think about all the noise and activity our home has absorbed. In turn, I found children’s large vinyl decals from Angry Birds...
