Artist Profile

Louis Bording

Novato, CA

My art is about the act of engagement. Engagement between the artist and the blank canvas and what happens during this process. The artist experiences the full range of human emotion, including doubt, fear, envy and if one is successful a sense of joy and fulfillment. Art is nothing without a viewer. My intention is to create an interaction between the viewer and the art, perhaps to have him or her stop, move closer and have an emotional response to the painting. --
My work uses line, color, accidents etc. to create images that have no basis in reality. I prefer to have the viewer "interpret" the images for themselves.
