Form and Content Gallery presents Veiled Resolutions, new paintings and watercolors by Mark Ostapchuk. Mark Ostapchuk’s current oil paintings feature an obsessive manner of applied layering and sanding and rebuilding opaque and translucent surfaces. His watercolors play out multiple layers of transparent paint. Both watercolors and oil paintings introduce simple patterns and shapes encountered in everyday domestic life. Within these pictures, shapes and patterns in space, suggest characters in situations and places.
