G Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Eli Bornowsky. “These are the first works I have accomplished that actually empty the viewers mind. Acknowledging that seeing can be separate from the analytic, deductive mind is difficult, but actually experiencing it is remarkable. Intuition has its own way of connecting us to number, geometry, love and reality.”

Bornowsky creates eccentric abstract paintings. Each body of work builds on the ideas and experiences of the previous. His trajectory is one of careful, intuitive reinvention; an evolving formal language arrived at through the experience of making. This exhibition will present a collection of discrete relief assemblages. Each shaped surface is mounted with wooden spheres, painted and drawn with gouache and marker. The works take unusual cues from a diverse art historical repertoire. For Bornowsky, “there is something to be gleaned in almost every Art.” In this case he cites artists like Guston and Tuttle, but also Renaissance painting, Islamic rugs, tantric art, free jazz and electronic music. Bornowsky will also present a site specific collection of artist “frames” made specifically for this installation.
