"Art Review City" publication's great review by Stephen Gambello of the "Lemon Sky"
exhibition at Lichtundfire gallery, NYC. "Art Review City" is an art publication devoted
to reviewing the best exhibitions around the world. Here is what the writer wrote about
Borchert's "Lemon Sky" series:
The impression of the memory of a chromatic scale arranged as an emotional abstraction
is what Vian Borchert’s four paintings “Lemon Zest,” “Limoncello,” “Transcendent,” and
“Lemon Sky” convey. We might experience an ongoing biography in quarters, as each painting
could represent a decade or so of the artist’s life–as we might see this life in its
development, in the compositional shape of colors. The yellow in each picture is strategically
placed, indicating the level of awareness and wisdom the artist had at that point in life.
The yellow, representing the actual true self’s identity, could indicate the location of that
true self within the boundaries of the artist’s perception, as manifested within the boundaries
of the painting itself.
