About the Item

Gaza, a Provocative and haunting figurative work painted with warm golden and burgundy red hues. ‘Gaza’ takes its inspiration from images of women in turmoil that the artist has seen across the news in both TV and print — women, who have lost sons, husbands, fathers and friends. He painted the three women veiled in darkness, with a purposeful light around them to signify hope. Roy Borrone, who is associated with the California Bay Area figurative movement. Rich in color, with the haunting elegance that is always associated with his work, ‘Gaza’ is painted with oil and alkyd and wax varnish on linen that has been stretched over a wood panel — 60 x 56 inches. A sophisticated painting that bridges abstraction, figuration and representation. The California Bay Area artist paints slowly and layered, taking months and sometimes even years to complete a single work of art. The paint extends beyond the surface to the edge of the canvas, so framing in not required. Interesting from every angle. Roy Borrone works in the tradition of gestural painting where ideas grow out of the very act of painting itself. “Long investments such as these create a language that carries a relevance to ideas; a quality that is missing in other works today”, said artist, Nathan Oliveira, of Borrone's work. Roy Borrone’s paintings with their powerful presence and solemn confidence are a pleasure to look at and to live with.
