Beki Borman was born and raised in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin. She attended the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design where she received her BFA in painting in 2004. Since graduating, Beki has exhibited both locally and nationally. Beki’s current oil paintings are done soley with a palette knife. These “Chromascapes” focus on color relationships within the subject of landscape. Some of Beki’s influences include Vincent Van Gogh and Barnett Newman.

Statement- oil Chromascapes
My Chromascape series focuses on an experience of color through the filter of landscape. I exaggerate the simple shapes and color relationships I find of interest to create a slightly hyper-realized image. In my oil Chromascapes, I use a palette knife exclusively to build planes of thick creamy paint. The texture supports an experience of object as well as image.
