Art: Feux d Artifice sur Canal Saint-Martin, Paris by Boré Ivanoff
GAMBLING THE AISLE
An arm length this uproar from the sea
in an urgent need of an operation,
crabs climb out and at first glance
seeming the ruddy attendants
to modify the then-yellow lacquer,
their beginning is along the grass beach,
where tourists get the catch,
ride the beef, the most sobering effect.
Bill Tray once announced
his congratulations to all. The proudest
day in one’s life, unheedingly at any level
in search of a bull dog, at least
five years older than his plans,
everybody knocking a guy out
in front of him to mark his name.
Seeing your names
written on the sea walls
for a pretty good hit
with happy eyes and a Hollywood laugh,
we are phosphorescent peeping
intent from under the darkness
to name the one like a marigold
to turn his remote into a pure golden sheen,
a common little fellow hurries up
as perpetually burning out
for such a marvelous colour.
In the artist’s words:
Eastern European- born, contemporary, protean artist, based in Paris since 2001. Since 2012 he paints exclusively Paris. Parisian views, ‘jamais vu’ motives are his special feature, blurring the line between abstraction and realism. For Boré Paris it’s the kind of place that offers the right combination of inspiration and pain and suffering to keep him stimulated and painting. Independent and self-confident, with a remarkable ability to surprise and intrigue the viewer … he prefers the enigmatic, the unconventional, and the unexpected. His work is precise, yet it teeters on the threshold of delirium and chaos. He brings outrageous levels, of pictorial realization to his work. His compositions are a sophisticated exercise in the manipulation of form, keyed-up color, density, illusionism, brushwork, and compression. The interior and the exterior merge to produce a single image whose
complexities are almost impossible to untangle. The result is which the abstract nearly trumps the real. Boré wants to see how far he can push reality to the other side where the “real” is still recognizable, but becoming totally abstract, building that tension until they are just one and the same.
