Product Details

Waking from a dream with the edges defined, but fading, this 16 x 20 in oil on stretched canvas seeks to capture the ethereal and evaporating content before it diffuses utterly. Inspired by the Sufi poets and dedicated to a practice that seeks to capture light and illuminate metamorphosis, Ostovany seemingly does both effortlessly.

Lansing Street Gallery is delighted to partner with Mendocino Sunrise Vacation Home to feature this work by Yari Ostovany. It is installed in the reading nook of the living room of this magnificent home.

Ostovany categorizes his work as Atmospheric Abstraction, navigating the terrain between Abstract Expressionism and Eastern Mystical traditions. The works featured in this show are original oil paintings influenced by Ostovany’s lifelong fascination with Sufi fables and Persian myths.

Born in Iran, Yari Ostovany moved to the United States at the age of 16 and pursued his studies in Art first at the University of Nevada - Reno and then at the San Francisco Art institute where he received his MFA in 1995. His work is in the permanent collections of many institutions including the New Britain Museum of American Art (New Britain, Connecticut), Pasargad Bank Museum (Tehran, Iran), Chateau d'Orquevaux (Champagne-Ardenne, France), Permanent Collection of the University of Nevada - Reno Art Department. Ostovany now lives and creates in the East Bay.
