About the Artist

A painting is a surface with an intervention. 

But what is the intervention? Is it the brushstroke, or the thought it sets in motion? In Joost van Oss’s new postcard art series, the intervention isn’t just on the paper — it lies inside of you. These works don’t sit quietly; they challenge, interrupt, and change how you think about value, ownership and meaning. For just $25, you’re not simply buying a postcard — but inviting a new idea into your space. The art doesn’t just hang on a wall; it speaks.

This open edition series makes art accessible while flipping the whole idea of what “art” even is. Joost hands the power back to the viewer — to you. What does it mean to own an image? To hold a thought made visible? These postcards are meant to be sent, shared, pinned or pocketed — whatever moves you. The moment you take one in, the shift begins.
