Yellow Lilies - Oil on Canvas Like the pieces of a glowing puzzle, the rhythms of Taras Borovyk’s composition and his buoyant colors all exist in a dazzling interrelationship. His subjects are distilled down to their essential shapes and tones in order to be reconfigured in our perceptions. In breaking his subjects down to their fundamental visual parts, Taras is exploiting the organic roots of visual forms, specifically the dynamics of light, perspective and emotions in our process of taking in his imagery. Translucent light and smoky shadows achieve material weight. The physical outlines of a church or flora might be overwhelmed by their constituent colors, but his images orchestrate a dramatic and disciplined symphony for the eyes, whether fiery reds framed and balanced by cool greens, or street scenes that are vivid expressions of complex psychological moods. Taras has said that art reveals the intricacies of existence, that through art we can perceive the world with the insight of a poet, and celebrate the subtle and profound just beneath the surface of things. Whether he is presenting a contemplative still-life or the array of color on a European street, Taras Borovyk’s work captures the essence of what he sees as an artist, which he brings forth onto his canvases, so that we also see and experience the world anew.
