Silas Borsos responds to life through a painting process that is impressionistic, serial, and studied. Most often at a small scale, the artist makes oil on linen paintings with a restrained, humble palette and deft brushwork. In these artworks, he turns his eye to compositions made of fruit, engaging the long shadow of the still life genre and its inherent allegories. As if directing actors on a stage, Borsos composes his fruit in myriad arrangements, eliciting anthropomorphism as associations get formed. The resulting mise-en-scène inflects the subject matter—and the still life genre overall—with both reverence and wit, insisting on the pure sweetness of painting.
