The exhibition: 
Presents a
series of new
paintings and 
photomontages
by Ostoya
deploying 
Artemisia 
Gentileschi’s 
iconic work, 
‘Judith Slaying 
Holofernes,’
 
as an image 
of violence 
inherent in 
art and in life. 

Keywords: 
Geometrical 
abstraction, 
surrealist 
juxtaposition,
brutality 
& attack. 

Title 
reference: 
To Ostoya, the 
slaying is of 
the unknown 
“other” that 
endangers the 
vulnerable “I”.
