About the artist:
Silas Borsos responds to life through a painting process that is impressionistic, serial, and studied. Most often at a small scale, the artist makes oil on linen paintings with a restrained, humble palette and deft brushwork. Throughout his practice, Borsos unravels the wellspring of poetic inspiration ingrained in everyday moments through an intiuitive sensibility for his subject matter. Whether rendering domestic portraits of his partner, still mornings on the subway, or compositions of fruit, Borsos quiets and slows the passage of time with subtle shifts in temperature and plane: an abstraction of marks coalescing into an image of the precious, impermanent things at hand.
Silas Borsos (b. 1989, Toronto, Canada) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He received his MFA from the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture in 2020. He has been included in solo and group exhibitions at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, New York; Studio d’arte Raffaelli, Trent, Italy; Steven Harvey Fine Arts Projects, New York (with Beaux Mendes); and Pamela Salisbury Gallery, Hudson. He is a 2023 recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant.
Specs:
Practice is part of a series of intimate domestic portraits Borsos renders of his partner Lily Akerman, turning everyday moments into poetic musings. In each delicate, small-scale painting, Borsos quiets and slows the passage of time to capture Akerman in various twisting postures. Choreographed yet fluid, the still, decluttered compositions remove the reticent veil of the mundane to reveal the mystery, excitement, and love embedded within, and often occluded by the everyday.More
