Chromascapes: Beki Borman

Gallery13 welcomes Beki Borman Wisconsin based artist and painter with a new series of colorful landscapes.

In Beki's own words:
"For me the landscape is the most accessible subject of the natural world. It has shaped our understanding of visual order. When I look at a landscape, my mind instantly begins to evaluate its design. I lay out the big shapes, patterns of color, and areas of contrast. My interest is not in recreating the scene, but rather in learning from its aesthetic. I use a painting knife as my primary tool to create a surface that describes the vastness of a landscape from afar but up close supports the objective nature of paint."
