In her most recent series of paintings Anna Borowy arranges portraits of persons with
animal companions and detailed landscapes of nature in the background. 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 „cropped“ at the borders of the paintings – 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.
The basis for the formation of Borowys‘ works—irrespective of all conceptual arrangements —is 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.
