About the Exhibition:

The “Electric” paintings collection delve into the dynamic interplay between vitality and vulnerability, as the artist, Vian Borchert, channels the power of energy, frequency, and emotion – what we radiate into the world – into a central, resonant theme. Borchert expresses that our “world is shifting, turning, but is it for the better good of humanity? We’re witnessing global disarray: outcries, conflicts, wars, fractured societies. The deconstruction of the soul, the demolition of cities, a demise of the structure and what remains of it are concepts that are insinuated in the latest works. The works in acrylic and watercolor media presented in the exhibition address the current urban decay through a lens of abstraction. In moving imagery, electric poles teeter beneath apocalyptic twilight skies, weathered structures stand defiant amid disasters. Like us, they persist, facing an uncertain future. Electricity, both a force of light and of danger, becomes a metaphor – a dual edged energy shaping our external world and internal states. In these latest works, Vian invites the viewers to ponder the impact of these unseen forces on the human condition.

Beyond the “Electric” abstractions, the exhibition also features Borchert’s iconic blue seascapes + skyscapes that are tranquil yet thought-provoking, as well as her expressive figurative abstractions that hold the viewer in intimate, introspective dialogue. Each piece asks: Who are we? How can we, as individuals, contribute to healing a fractured world?

Ultimately, this latest exhibition offers a compelling blend of works on canvas and paper, reflecting Borchert’s deep engagement with the world around her and the world within.
