NEW YORK, NY – October 25, 2016 — Time Out Magazine’s Most Creative New Yorker, Borbay, is returning to Manhattan for the inaugural Accessible Art Fair New York at The National Arts Club. Selected by a star-studded jury, including representatives from Sotheby’s, Gagosian Gallery, Christie’s Collectrium and artnet News — Borbay will exhibit three paintings in his electric, 80% sold-out neon series.

“Manhattan will always hold a special place in my heart. My girls were born in our apartment on East 20th Street, so returning to share my new series in Gramercy Park represents the best kind of reverse commute.”

The Accessible Art Fair New York runs from November 1-25th, with VIP Opening Reception’s on November 1st and 2nd.

Million Dollar Cowboy Bar Painting Part Two

In August, I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with local landowner and thespian, Harrison Ford, at the Murie Ranch for the Spirit of Conservation Awards. My contribution was a commissioned, original painting — which was live auctioned by Larry Flynn to benefit the merged Teton Science Schools and Murie Center. Added bonus? Coraline is now a student at Teton Science.

If you’d like to see the entire work come together in one minute… check this time lapse.

The Neon Cowboy

I decided to invent a neon painting. The concept: a cowboy on a bucking horse, swangin’ his Indiana Jones style whip, atop electric grass, with the mighty Tetons far off in the distance… my result? “The Neon Cowboy” — not to be confused with “The Electric Horseman“.

Bar Fedora Neon Sign Painting

The neon train continues with this 14″X18″ canvas of Fedora — a West Village staple (now gratuity free).

This painting wasn’t going to happen. I was focused on moving our family from Minnesota to Idaho, when I completed packing five days early. A blank canvas taunts a painter like a blank page tortures the writer — so, I got to work.

Road Trip! Minnetonka To Victor, Idaho With Greg McMahon

2015 was Voltron. Vega was born in February. One month later we found ourselves in Exuma, and in July, we left Manhattan for good. The nomadic lifestyle was good to us… and, in fact, it was during our stay in Teton Village that we decided to move to ‘The End Of The Trail’.

Here’s what went down on the road (NSFW, just kidding, it’s very safe).
