Boris Jairala is the featured artist at L'Art au Refuge on June 4th, 2009.
Boris works in a variety of mediums and his paintings are rendered in oil (high contrast colors, mostly) on canvas or wood panel and are complimented by custom-made frames. These frames become extensions of the painting itself as they are designed and built to compliment the subject and overall feeling expressed by the work. Essentially the painting and frame, integrated together, is the artwork- unseparable, but one.
His most recent "Candle" series focuses on one subject lit by a candle in the darkness. The frames are created from old doors and are stained and burnt. A candle is suspended from the frame in the exact position of the rendered light source maintaining a physical light source complimenting the bright highlights and deep shadows of the painting. Some of the candle scones are mechanical in that they can be raised to maintain the same light source as the candle burns down.
Born in Brooklyn, New York and receiving his Bachelors of Fine Arts from Brooklyn College, Boris is currently working full-time as a freelance artist.
