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:
In these artworks, the artist turns his eye to compositions made of fruit, engaging the long shadow of the still life genre and its inherent allegories. As though directing actors on a stage, Borsos composes his fruit in myriad arrangements, eliciting anthropomorphism as associations get formed. The resulting mise-en-scène inflects the subject matter—and the still life genre overall—with both reverence and wit, insisting on the pure sweetness of painting.More
