Ted Borman Oil Painting on Canvas "Midnight Mass"
Item Details
An oil painting on canvas titled Midnight Mass by American artist Ted Borman. The work depicts a partially abstracted architectural scene comprised of an oscillating church surrounded by the stylyzed silhouettes of a crowd. The painting is rendered with areas of thick impasto, expressionistic brushstrokes, and vibrant pigments. The work is signed in paint to the lower left corner. The title of the composition and the last name of the artist are inscribed in ink to the verso. This painting is presented without glass, housed in a wooden frame with a black finish and a gilt liner.
’I am a clinical therapist with a long interest in art. As a therapist, I listen, process, analyze, and interpret. As an artist, I look, process, analyze, and interpret. I choose to interpret expressively. Creativity is life affirming.
‘I liken my approach to musical composition, in which even disjointed elements are balanced and rejoined. More than content, it is beauty, color, texture, composition, and sensual impact that motivate my work. My paintings reach to the edge, with a sense of ’all over painting’ and point-counterpoint balance. Yet, their many paths loop and become intimate, with color driven and fugacious forms.’
