A Jeff Bortniker original painting. 48" x 48" Acrylic and Paste on canvas. Jeff Bortniker is an avid art collector of modern U.S. abstract paintings, he naturally gravitated toward this style in his own work. Using mixed media as the base for most of his work, Jeff works with acrylic paints, molding pastes, and spray paints. His bold use of colors and thick brush strokes imbue his paintings with passion, evoking an emotional response from the viewer. Jeff draws inspiration from Rothko, Miro, Calder, and Johns. Jeff is currently represented by galleries in both New York and Connecticut. His work is being collected by art lovers from New York City to Boston.
