About the Item

Contemporary School (American, 20th c.), "Strata XVII', signed, titled and dated in pencil verso, unframed with canvas on wood stretchers. An abstract oil and wax work on linen. Dimensions: 70"h x 83"w x 2"d Condition: Good. No visible condition issues observed. About the Artist: Alfonse Borysewicz (born April 27, 1957) is a Brooklyn-based painter. He received his B.A. from Sacred Heart Seminary and M.A. from St. John’s Provincial Seminary. He later attended the Studio School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (1982–1984). He is the recipient of two fellowships from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation (1987, 1992) and a Guggenheim Fellowship (1995). Gregory Wolfe, an editor at Image, calls Borysewicz "one of the most important religious artists since the French Catholic Georges Rouault. More than one critic has noted the influence of Cy Twombly, and one reviewer in particular, parallels with Jean-Michel Basquiat. He has had solo shows at Richard Anderson Fine Art (1991-1999), Yoshii Gallery in New York and Tokyo (1993 and 1994), Simon Watson (1991), and Francine Seders (1999). Of his 1999 show at Richard Anderson, Jonathon Goodman of Art in America writes, “Borysewicz’s ability to invent a language of transcendence which is both traditional and of the moment makes him a compelling artist.” His paintings are primarily oil and wax on linen. The work develops through the physical act of painting. The accumulation of gestural and repetitive marks determines the surface pattern, density, texture, and vestigial imagery. The work draws the viewer into its interior space and invites a meditative response. This approach lends an earthiness which compliments the spiritual dimension but insists on the basic “humanness” of both belief and painting.
