about
| ["... He attends to a special category of artists, not limiting themselves to only one way of expression but being familiar with many kinds of art. Ossada wants to show his very own vision of life in his poems, his pictures and sculptures. This fore he focuses on developing originality in thinking and acting. The result is a versatile and unexpected art. ... So, ossada gives significance to his world and a direction to his thoughts and his acting. But has it any importance for the estimation of his work, that the audience understands his life? I do think “no”. As in the poetic pictures of Paul Klee it is not perturbing if we not understand the certain intention of ossada, because the all-embracing character of his work is one of its most important qualities. It gives a hard to grab but solid structure to his creation. Both objects and poems will lead you to a world, in which you as a viewer are without knowledge but familiar with this world. Even if you will not understand, you are going to feel home."] Text "Squares and cubes" by art historian Drs. Jaap Versteegh (NL) 2008 ["The human being – who does not think of the creature and god’s creation or - to use another doctrine – the bio-psycho-social unit Men? The painter and sculptor Ossada works on answering the question: “What is the human being about?”, without being scared of never finding a proper result. Ossada’s intention is to search rather than to find. Ossada produces concept art. The ideological vacuum, Eastern Germany fell after 1989, is filled by ossada (as a searcher) with contrasts: he is tough enough to set his private agenda in place of socialistic or post-modern capitalistic dogmas. He is situated in the present, using their rubbish as raw material and he is against them, not accrediting them blind and without a word of protest. In order to that Ossada gives a striking message to his art, that provokes examinations. Though Ossada himself wants to get faced to his own value system. Outstanding felicitous got his work when the superficial ideological is forced to withdraw behind everyday objects such as gloves or worn out jackets. There the viewer can connect to the work, finds apparently familiar things and gets confused by the unusual coherency in which the object is presented. The composition of stuffed clothes in “just the others” reminds in a haunting way of dead soldiers in World War 1 or the killed Jews in Auschwitz. …"] Text by Viktor Kalinke Edition Erata Leipzig 2007 ["I get pleasure from your independent art!"] Dr. Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker, member of german parlament, 2002 |
