STEVE BORGHI & Rhythmic Expressionism: a new direction in art
A new style emerging in the 21st century is "Rhythmic Expressionism," an innovative title coined by Steve Borghi to describe his highly original form of oil painting. The majority of Borghi's paintings are non-representational, however, they are created with and inspired by the colors, rhythms, and sounds of nature that evoke a myriad of moods.
Borghi’s paintings depict expressions that emanate directly from what he describes as “that sacred inner space where art and music are born.” His paintings are therefore, as he puts it, “fundamentally expressions of my emotional response to musical rhythms, translated onto canvas.”
Depending on his mood, Borghi creates works with energetic, bold hues and impasto, or thick strokes of paint. “When I’m feeling more contemplative,” he explains, “I paint with softer-color oils that evoke the subtle sounds and soothing colors found in nature. And then, when I’m in a playful or lighthearted mood, I create paintings filled with lively patterns in what curator Kristen Thies categorizes as kids’ colors.”
Rhythmic expressionism is at the heart of Steve’s newest work: “My goal is to create paintings that instill the viewer with the same magic
I feel during my creative process.”
To my thinking, collecting a bit of magic is a wonder-filled choice. So we welcome you to take a look at the art of Steve Borghi, posted on www.WestWindFineArt-Contemporary.com in four differing categories: Bold Colors, Soft Colors, Kids’ Colors, or oils inspired by Water, Sea & Sky…
