There is an exuberance and sincerity in the works of Taras Borovyk that has become a rare find in some contemporary painting. His richly saturated oils are at once decorative, representational and highly personal. One can feel the pull of the artist’s native Ukraine in his bright renderings of cityscapes and still lifes, reminiscent of stained glass or mosaic panels. The Impressionistic treatment of light in conjunction with the decorative modeling of form through outline creates paintings that recapture the pure joy of early modernism, the joy of painting that is both a representation of life and the method of perceiving it.
For Borovyk, art is “not only what you create but how you see everything around you.” He developed this philosophy in his early work as a muralist and it is apparent in his work today; his paintings are meant to communicate, they are meant to make visible the world around us with “the insight of a poet… pausing to celebrate the subtle and profound.”
