Boronski Art Gallery

I've travelled a long road of despair

I saw the flowers come and go

I'm going to Bally-na-Lee

Willem Boronski’s painting combines Vincent van Gogh’s The Painter on the Road to Tarascon (1888) with Bob Dylan’s Tangled up in Blue (1975), evoking themes of loneliness and melancholy. The artwork portrays a solitary figure walking along a desolate path, immersed in shades of blue, symbolizing sadness and reflection. The rough, sketch-like texture and ghostly figure create a dreamlike atmosphere, echoing the emotional complexity in Dylan's song.  The painting blends isolation, introspection, and beauty, capturing both the solitary journey of the artist and the melancholic undertones of Dylan’s narrative.

Beyond The Sea – Beyond The Sky

Buying A Stairway 2022

In ‘Multitudes: Layers of Reflection’, Willem Boronski guides us through a journey of emotions, ideas, and societal themes that define his work. At the heart of this retrospective is exploring the different 'realities' we navigate daily, symbolized by the staircase — a potent and recurring motif in Boronski’s oeuvre, representing the connection between worlds and realities.  
The staircase symbolises growth, reflection, and the tension between movement and stagnation and connects worlds and realities. From his early paintings to recent sketches and works, this exhibition showcases how Boronski’s use of layering and techniques invites the viewer to look beyond the surface. In this context, the staircase serves as a guiding thread, a metaphor for the personal and collective pursuit of understanding, empathy, and transformation, with the viewer as an active participant in this journey.  
An essential aspect of Boronski’s work is his creative process, evident in the traces of char
