Look Up!

An homage to the strength and beauty of NYC, but also emphasizing hope and a positive outlook along with a friendly reminder to always look up! ~ Vian Borchert

For the month of March 2023, accomplished artist Vian Borchert's NYC skyline paintings are on exhibit in the INVITATIONAL EXHIBITION at NYC Phoenix Art Gallery.

Borchert's atmospheric cityscape paintings highlight NYC's structural charms and monumental landmarks. The artist states, "I describe my art as a form of visual poetry. The artwork represents my aesthetic and sense of identity along with themes on belonging while emphasizing my love for structure, strong lines and geometric shapes. Coming from academia and an architect at heart, I define my mind as a structured one with love for composition with a multitude of shapes. Naturally these elements appear in my work, especially in the work that has architectural elements at its core. In a gist, the works go after the law of contiguity which is considered the keystone to most scientific theories of space, memory, and knowledge. Furthermore the cityscape paintings depict my love for the NYC skyline executed in my signature expressionist painterly style. Hence, my artistic vision is one of hope and big dreams for the future. The artwork reflects my dreams and inspirations. In my cityscapes, there is an emphasis on tall buildings and looking up. Thus, the cityscapes are a celebration of tall landmarks not only to present their beauty through a poetic and an artistic touch, but to also stress on the importance of staying hopeful and dreaming big."

The prestigious "NYC Phoenix Art" gallery was founded in Manhattan in 1958 during the "Tenth Street" days. Early gallery exhibitors are renowned artists such as Elaine de Kooning and Alice Neel.
