James Borger American Artist. Still Life Painting

Balance of Sky

The artist:

In my current work I explore the integration of the still life and the exterior world. Whether bringing the landscape inside and behind the still life or releasing the still life to the outdoors I have attempted to create still lifes that are a natural extension of the landscape. The foreground components are stripped down to represent simplified, utilitarian groupings that find symbolism in the agrarian culture and retain a timeless look. In their exterior surroundings the fruits and vegetables take on a monumental feel. Folded fabric and tables marry with the curves, textures, and color of the background scenes to help fuse the still life with the landscape.
