I’m delighted to share my first completed painting of 2014: a commission of 55 West 11th Street in Manhattan. Ironically enough, I painted this in Minnesota.
2013 — Borbay’s Year in Review
Jack’s Favorite Things, Simon and Schuster, Miami and More
Happy Friday. And now for five pieces of news from the busy, and extremely messy Borbay studio.
Neil’s Coffee Shop Redux, a Borbay Painting
The biggest blizzard in NYC History dumped a record 26.9″ of snow on Central Park. That day, I set out to walk across the park from the Upper East, to the Upper West and back.
ARTPROV at the Cancer Support Community of Southern Connecticut Gala
Last night the ARTPROV team jumped into our trusty limo mini-van and set course for Connecticut. Our destination? The Second Annual Gala of the Cancer Support Community of Southern Connecticut emceed by New 12 Connecticut Anchor Gillian Neff at The Waterview. Major bonus? A slide show on mitochondria by Thomas Lynch, MD (not literally).
Fam — a Portrait of Olympian Anthony Famiglietti
Creative collaboration is nourishment for the soul. So, when writer Duncan Larkin proposed we team-up for a series of ART-icles (horrible pun) on his resurrected Roads Mills Laps or RML blog, I was in. As it happens, his first subject is Olympian and Reckless Running brand ambassador Anthony Famiglietti — someone I’ve known and respected since 1992.
Minnesota, Neil’s, Patch, Heavy, More
It’s Halloween, and here is what’s happening in my world… I’m back from Minnesota, and working on a new canvas… Neil’s Coffee Shop. It will join my growing ‘Back to the Futurism’ series. In fact, I’ve painted Neil’s before, but from a different angle and style.
Grain Belt Beer Sign Painting, A Minnesota Landmark
Standing on Nicollet Island in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a legend. Built in 1941, the Grain Belt Beer Sign has been through a great deal… moving, going dark, being sold, vandalized, trivialized, lionized — and even more words with ized’ attached.
Domino Sugar Factory Painting, “Last Domino Standing”
Work Featured With Supermodel Oluchi in New African Woman Magazine
It’s not every day a Supermodel poses in front of your work… that is, of course, unless you know photographer, director and all around gentleman Remi Adetiba.
