Eclipse Jackson Hole Guggenheim Painting by Borbay

Guggenheim Painting Eclipse Painting Jackson Hole Painting Borbay

“I’m gonna drop the Gugg in front of the Tetons, and live paint the eclipse at 9,095′ in Jackson Hole.” Wait, what?

Yes, the 9th painting in my 20-year-series traded in 5th avenue for a ski resort…  and friend, it was glorious!

It’s been thirty or so years since the Gai Mode Beauty Salon neon sign has been active in Jackson Hole… so, when I decided to paint it… invention was the name of the game.

Snake and Jake’s and Cutty’s in Grand Teton National Park

Snake and Jakes and Cuttys in Teton National by Borbay

I had the distinct pleasure of creating this painting for the Jackson Hole Food & Wine Dinner Series. Our event, hosted by Katrina and Brandon Ryan, featured the culinary expertise of James Beard Award winning Chef, Ryan Prewitt. Together with Megan Gallagher, Haynes Poe and Chef Prewitt, we put our minds together to create an image celebrating both New Orleans and Jackson Hole.

Our love for dive bars prevailed, resulting in this hybrid painting, featuring NOLA’s Snake and Jake’s Christmas Club Lounge and the Teton Gables sign, which resides in front of Jackson Hole’s own Cutty’s Bar & Grill… and, of course, we added Grand Teton National Park for good measure.

Welcome To Twin Peaks Neon Sign Painting

Welcome To Twin Peaks Painting Neon by Borbay

Welcome To Twin Peaks, fire, walk with neon… I’ve long admired the work of David Lynch, from film to sound to canvas. A consummate original, and architect of universes, I strove to capture a symbol of the great Lynch/David Frost series in a new light. Neon, to be specific.

Here is how the entire painting came together, captured in a one minute time lapse.

Center For The Arts at Night Painting by Borbay

The Center For the Arts Jackson Hole celebrated their 10th Anniversary last night with a sold out crowd at their Annual Benefit Concert with Lyle Lovett and His Large Band and The Center’s Annual Benefit After Party. I had the pleasure of live-painting this 24″X36″ canvas throughout the festivities, capturing the energy, spirit and goodwill of a community focused on the arts.
