Join us for an Artist Talk with ON::View Artist-in-Residence Melinda Borysevicz on Monday, September 22nd at 6PM, and learn more about what Melinda has been working on during her time with us here in Savannah.About the Artist
Melinda Borysevicz is an Italian-American figurative artist based in rural southern Italy. After participating for many years in Savannah, Georgia’s vibrant creative scene, she traveled to a village not too far from her ancestral home in Italy. “A couple months away” has turned into several years after Borysevicz simply stayed to continue to paint. Her narrative portrait and figure paintings spring directly from her personal experience of having re-discovered her ancestral home.
About the Project
“I’ve been intrigued by the theme of processions the past few years, initially inspired by the religious processions that happen with regularity in every village where I live in southern Italy. These processions recall ancient local practices of bringing gifts to the gods that once protected this area and mirror similar events in every culture. I started to imagine what a contemporary Savannah procession might look like... an assembly of characters moving together towards their to-be-determined destination. The figures and faces for this work will come directly from Savannah’s historic and contemporary milieu: portrait sittings will be open to the public, leaving space for spontaneous participation and conversations about the past, present, and future of Savannah.”
– Melinda Borysevicz
Project Finale: Friday, October 3rd from 5-9PM in conjunction with First Fridays in Starland
