Abstract Distractions

Whatever you may want to call them, they all lead us to the same place, this collection of art. And however you want to describe them, they should be fun. Each piece in this show is a collage of whatever feelings, inspirations, and intuitions are affecting at the time of creation. Immerse yourself in them and see whatever you want. One of the things I like most about doing abstract art is when people tell me what they see in a particular piece. I want each viewer to get their own idea or message from my art. Consider them a Rorschach test for imagination instead of psychoses. Unless you are psychotic, in which case, friend me on Facebook.

About the Artist:

(Being a 100% truthful and incredibly accurate account from the dawn of time to the present)

Steven Michael Borelli has been drawing since he was a fetus. The inside of his mother’s womb is tattooed with the renderings of his twisted imagination. Upon birth he continued his assault on the senses by concocting his own abstract designs inspired by the lunacy transpiring about him. Eschewing the formal art training of college, he embarked on a career of illustration and graphic design. He also spent several years teaching design and animation, enjoying the mayhem he could spread by preaching his own insane dogma to the inquisitive minds of impressionable students throughout Silicon Valley.

Now with a thriving design business, Borelli balances the chaos he calls a life by visualizing on board, film and canvas the various hallucinations dancing like sugarplums through his deranged imagination, and using his creativity as ammunition in the never-ending battle with mediocrity.
