BORBAY

“On July 2, 2009, my first day as a full-time artist, I set up my easel across from the Guggenheim and began painting. What started as a single painting evolved into a 20-year commitment to reinterpret Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece annually. The architecture remains constant, but the world around it… and the artist interpreting it… changes every year. That’s the genius of Wright’s design: it is simultaneously timeless and endlessly new.”- (@borbay) _______ Images: (1) Jason Borbay, "My Guggenheim, Toward My Egypt", 2026.

"In 2009, I decided to create a new, 30”X30” painting of the Guggenheim, each year, for 20 years. Amid COVID-19 — the rogue 'Pandemic Guggenheim' was created with a palette knife, opposite handed, in ninety minutes. I set out to capture the prescient, pre-COVID exhibition about sustainable living — 'Countryside, The Future.' Prominently featured in the composition is a tomato growing hut, which was curiously and ominously erected in front of the Guggenheim. Removing all creative aspects of control embraced the surreal, dystopian experience of 2020." -Jason Borbay, this week's #FrankLloydWrightFridays artist.
