BIBI OSTERMARK
Melbourne-based artist Bibi Ostermark was born in Copenhagen, denmark and came to Australia in 1974.
Bibi is a keen observer, and is well equipped to capture the idiosyncrasies of life and its players.
Consequently her inspirations and ideas are drawn from everyday life, events, feelings and those special moments when life which come close to fantasy.
Flights of fancy with a touch of humour could well be the title of many of her paintings.
Bibi's particular skill is capturing the expression of people's body language, with which she can depict expressions of mood and feeling through form, without relying on the detail in faces.
Such conceptual work has become her hallmark.
Bibi uses intense colours and strong shapes to portray her art, which can become quite abstract at times.
She invites viewer interaction. "I always seek communication with the onlooker, even if it is criticism. it is very important that they react to my work"
