Brian Borrello believes in the power of art and creativity to transform and improve human lives. Mr. Borrello is a visual artist, designer, educator and, as a public artist he has designed and created public art and sculptures for disabled children, rail stations, cancer patients and survivors, community gardens in blighted neighborhoods, municipal buildings, elementary schools and toxic waste sites. The demands of making public art works have so occupied him that it has been four years since his last solo gallery exhibition.
As a visual artist, his two dimensional works are typically rendered in India ink, charcoal and motor oil on paper or linen. Growth patterns, principles of biological organization and natural phenomena are magnified by the artist into the lyrical tracery of a root, the curve and projection of a thorn or the sinuous tangle of mycelia among others. His work is powerful in its beauty and conceptually vital to the times we live in.
