The figures in the front are lucidly contoured and distinct, which corresponds to to their noticeable proximity to the viewer. Consequently their bodies are partially \u201ecropped\u201c at the borders of the paintings \u2013 or perceived differently these bodies have been extended into the space of the viewer. In conjunction with the astonishing plasticity of the characters, the viewer quasi finds himself in company with them in front of a dramatic but rather distant background. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\nThe basis for the formation of Borowys\u2018 works\u2014irrespective of all conceptual arrangements\u2014is an open, processual flow. The artist is dynamically exchanging with the form taking on her idea, i.e. she exposes its shape and details while painting. The result is a vividness which the mere draft cannot anticipate.<\/p>\n
