“Bridge Over Troubled Water”

“Victor Ostrovsky’s insight and knowledge of the intelligence community from his own experience in Israel’s Mossad serves as a basis for his enigmatic and cryptic paintings as well as his writing of best-selling fictional novels and screenplays. His canvases offer tantalizing images, evoking a mystical and otherworldly reaction from viewers. Hats, gloves, scarves and umbrellas hide the identities of his inscrutable figures, provoking and teasing our imaginations with visual portrayals of adventure and intrigue. The activities of his figures and the titles of the work reflect the enterprise and language of the international intelligence community, bringing several layers of meaning to his paintings while creating stories for the viewer.”
